I work on a cardiac stepdown unit in a large hospital. Traditionally we have not given adenosine without a physician present. Our physicians are wanting to put together a protocol that would allow the nurses the push adenosine without a physician. ...

Do you have a written protocol?? What are the monitoring requirements?

Do you have a protocol? What are the monitoring requirements?

Our stepdown unit takes both reopro and integrillin both pre and post procedure. Patient ratio varies from 4-6. We have had no problems.

Are there set monitoring requirements after giving adenosine?? Do you have a written protocol?

What is the nurse patient ratio for the stepdown patients?
