   njmcavoy replied to njmcavoy's topic in Ob/Gyn

   That is exactly how we used to do it....but now the hospital (and the state, like they know what they're talking about) insists that everything (even normal IV fluids) be run on a pump. They're not...

   some of the other staff agree with her, which stinks. Thank you so much for your input. I'll keep doing some research and checking back here to see if anyone else does their pitocin this way (I find...

   No. all we have are triple pumps. they are ENORMOUS. Apprently the company doesn't make double pumps, which I find odd....would be a win all the way

   Ah. thank you. we use KVO-keep vein open. The secondary line has its own program to set. The manufacturer says that you can run two things (even sensitive medications) at the same time at different...
