canoehead u said exactly what i was thinking.... ntg and heparin are definitely compatible so id go with them first.... but if the pt is that hard of a stick and clearly having an ischemic event based on their ekg's....id just tell the docs, they are gonna have to put a central in .... if it is that emergent i am sure they will get right to it.
Thanks guys, the one problem is we don't offer angioplasty at our facility, and by the time cardiology is seeing the ischemic patient, ems is ready for transfer and the cardiologist waits for nothing so we had better have our patient ready for shipping. Central lines as you all know aren't the quickest things to put in when your at a small rural hospital. I did find that you can use heparin, nitro, and integrelin in the same carrier, but ms was unknown. thanks for the input.
You can run NTG and Integrelin together. Integrelin has 9 incompatable drugs (Valium and Compazine are two of them) You can run Heparin and NTG together. When I'm in doubt, I call the pharmacy. Last week we had and emergency cath where we were running Heparin, NTG, and integrelin together, I wasn't really comfortable with it, but our pharmacy said it was OK.
