I just finished my first week of orientation in the ICU. It is going very well, I am just a little confused about compatibility. The patient I was caring for was on several different gtts, all running into the same thing. (I can't think of the name of it, but it has multiple openings to arrange all the lines running into the patient.)
Dopamine
Levophed
Insulin
Epi
Bumex
Versed
Fentanyl
D5.45
So technically all of this was running in together, as it was all going into the patient's cordis. I asked my preceptor if it would be inappropriate to push my other IV meds into the main line and she said it was fine. Is this true?
