   Survey Fentanyl drips

   Transplant-BSNTx replied to SKYABOVEBLUE's topic in Nursing

   My facility stocks the pre-mixed 2000mcg/100ml bags of fentanyl which is kept secured in our medication pyxis. However, I too work in the ICU. The only departments that stock the pre-mixed fentanyl bags are ER/ICU/OR/Palliative Care in my facility.

   Transplant-BSNTx replied to nuwbee25's topic in MICU
