Hi Everyone, I am in the healthcare industry and I am currently working on a project and trying to get a better understanding of IV therapies in the critical care setting, and needless to say my head is . Can someone explain to me when do you (or MD) decides to use an IV push vs. a bag? Is it easier from a nurse's perspective in MICU/ SICU to use a push or a just hang a bag? Is hanging a bag more time consuming or more labor intensive than the push? Is a shorter time infusion better (2 min push vs 30 minute infusion? Help. Thanks a lot.:) Great website - the information I have gathered so far from you all has been very valuable.
