Hello all, I am an intern working in the ED and my assigned RN gives push medications through a distal IV port with NS running. The rationale being that the medication is being diluted in the NS flowing through the tubing. I have two questions that I have not been able to find answers to.
1. How many milliliters are actually in IV tubing
2. Is this practice evidence based (I have been searching journals and cannot find anything on the topic)
