good stuff....so, who's going to stock it in their crash carts/OR/ER/pyxis?

how fast can you push lipids?

 

[pharmacogenomic]

We have it routinely stocked on all anesthesia carts, ER, cath lab, etc - anywhere anesthesia is given. To my knowledge, its never been used for verapamil od which I think is the case this guy is writing up. The bupropion case is questionable, as they pointed out.

We don't keep it in every pyxis - there are always pharmacists out there if anesthesia feels they need it on the floor.

You can push it fast if you need to - its isotonic, preferably a central line but a peripheral will work just as well. You won't find that published in the product info since anesthetic rescue I don't think is a labeled indication yet.

i'm probably going to stick it in at least one of my critical care area/ER pyxises.

and make sure the PACU has it...no pyxis, though🙁

hmm. we don't have it in any accudoses or crash carts. I wonder if that will change.
