  7. What to set VTBI to when antibiotic is the primary?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to mmf0811's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Honestly everyone sets their VTBI differently. Some set it to 250 while some set it to 225. Either way the pump isn't just going to be infusing air into the patient. Believe me it will beep and beep...

    FL_Nurse92 replied to LinenP's topic in General Nursing

    FL_Nurse92 replied to muwendo's topic in Patient Medications

    FL_Nurse92 replied to NursingDream2016's topic in General Nursing

    FL_Nurse92 replied to NursingDream2016's topic in General Nursing
