  1. Priming IV drips

    NICULover17 replied to NICULover17's topic in NICU, Neonatal
    Unfortunately my hospital doesn't have the resources to be able to set up a separate group of pumps, and there isn't a written policy. How do those of you who also don't have extra pumps do it?

  2. Priming IV drips

    NICULover17 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal
    I'm a new NICU nurse and need some help with the proper way to set up an IV drip. Specifically, how to prime your tubing when setting up a new drip that has other fluids (or just an IV chaser) going through it. I've managed babies on drips, but have never been the one to hang new fluids/start new drips. We usually have a y-site with the small medication tubing connected. So let's say you are hanging a new bag of fluid and have a syringe for your drip. The drip will be running at a very slow rate. What is the proper way to prime your tubing so that the med reaches the baby quickly when you connect your new tubing, but they are not bolused?
