Do you mix your own pit?

At your institution is your pitocin mixed by the pharmacy? If so, are you allowed to mix your own if you had to?

    Wow! At the hospital I work at, we cannot mix our own Pit...I think it is actually a policy. We do have a fridge attached to the med Pyxis where we usually have about 10 or so bags at a time that we can get for our inductions/augmentations/deliveries. We also have vials of Pit in the Pyxis that we pretty much only use for precipitous deliveries who do not have time to get an IV before delivering. I believe our Pit bags are 20units/1000mL. I think that it is pretty interesting that some hospitals allow the nurses to mix their own Pit (not that nurses aren't completely capable of doing it :)).

    Yes, 1ml/hr=1mU/min. That's why I like that concentration. No math to do at 3am.
