13. mag and pitocin

    heyabo replied to mark_LD_RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We use MagSo4 at a ratio of 1gm/10cc so we are only running that at 20cc/hr and we use 10 units in 500cc/hr so there's not really a problem with overloading. I've never seen 30 units in 500cc but we willuse 20 units in 500 as needed.
