ESPECIALLY something like Quad strength meds that have to come from the pharmacy. I’m a new grad in the ICU and my preceptor taught me to immediately order a new bag from the pharmacy after hanging a fresh bag just in case we have to go on a spontaneous “field trip” to MRI, CT, etc…
As a new grad I ran out of Vaso and almost had a stroke I thought my patient was going to die .... the pt was also on levo and my charge nurse came a titrated it up real fast 😅 lmaoo. Poor new grad me. Overthinking way too much
I think we all have one of those moments where we have a vasoactive medication run dry! It is a good teaching moment for sure, and one that can make you panic a little bit depending on how labile the patients BP is.
Finally someone explained it lol I have seen it done a few times and no one ever gave a reason
I'm glad it was helpful!

So while Infusion Verify , Will it create a problem as Infused dose wont match the ordered dose? Any tips on that?? Thankyou :)
I hope I am understanding this right. But yes, it is a problem and technically a medication error if the medication wasn't programmed correctly.
