Bolus IVP followed by IV infusion


I am trying to put a list together of drugs that are commonly administered by first giving a bolus dose of the medication via an IV Push, followed by a IV infusion of the same drug, for example Heparin bolus followed by a Heparin infusion? The setting is predominately the Emergency Department or administration of medication started in the ED prior to patient transfer or admission. All examples welcome! Thanks

Default Re: Bolus IVP followed by IV infusion
Diltiazem - usually 10mg bolus then IV rate 5-15mg/hr.
Amiodarone - 300mg over 1 hr then 20mg/kg for 24hrs (although in life-saving measures you can push the 300)
Narcan - 0.1mg - 0.4mg push, then drip (sorry can't remember that dose off the top of my head)
Insulin
Magnesium - 1-2mg followed by drip (usually BC, although I am unsure if they bolus first)
Practically any narcotics or ativan or versed

Hope this helps
