Central line and CVP overview and medications. New grad in icu. Need ICU rn help!

[cirionrc22]

Just had some questions. New grad in icu. First day. Most my patients have CVP and on a million drips. So when you have a patient, they are on maint solution. Do most of you meds just hang as a secondary to this? e.g. fentanyl, insulin, versed, dextran. I mean, I don't want any med interactions. Cause say you get an order for a vasopressor (which I understand should be ran in a central line and by itself). So if you run the vasopressor, where are you going to run all the other meds. More peripheral ivs? I know there are 3 ports on the central line but since they all connect to one, you can't run anything else on it right?

Myself? just curious about the mechanical part, and not in ICU. Spent several weeks twice during school. One ICU level III, I guess, told me they don't run much like this. So, curious I am.

LOL. uh, the "label your lines" part was more of a statement of the obvious...:)
