recently i had a pt that bleed out an estimated 1000ml of blood after pulling a jp on the floor had no pulse coded her back and sent her to me with a pressure of 50/30. i started an iv and a bolus and levophed as i went down for blood, yes licensed personnel have to get blood at our hospital. when i came back IV was gone. pt started having SVT occasionally but we eventually got an iv and started the levophed. as we cont to attempt to get another line it wasnt going to happen so i called the md and he said ok we can run it in the same line ill be down there to see what we can do about a cent line.
so i did and it worked. pt did great with both levophed and blood in the same line. so i was wondering what is the exact reasoning for wanting to run these drugs with anything else like i was taught when it apparently works fine.
