Bolusing sdation medications form the syringe pump

Hi all. I was wondering what other hospitals are doing in the PICU rgarding sedation for intubated pts.

We have a sedation protocol that has been in place for a few years, I don't want to go into detail here.

We are thinking of implementing a new policy that would allow us to bolus medications off the syringe pump. We have done a survey, timed retrieving med from medication pyxis to administration, and surveyed another unit that already has this in practice.

We have specific guidelines on how this would work, i.e no inotropes or pressors can be running in the same line as the sedation medications, it can only be the sedation meds either by themselves or with standard iv fluids, plus a few other requirements

What I would like to know is how are other PICUs implementing this, what are the benefits besides time, easier access, and what hav been some of the issues.

Thanks in advance
