Yes I'm an RN. I just used a 1L NS bag because that is the most common IV infusion we give. We don't carry NS 50ml or 100ml bags. So if a patient had a L of NS infusing or something, would injecting phenergan 12.5-25mg into the bag still have the desired effect? I just want some opinions on if it is acceptable to do it this way. That even though it will take longer to get the full dose that the effect will be the same.

Question about administration: I know IV Phenergan has to be diluted before being given through a large bore IV. Is there a difference in diluting it in 10-15 mls via a syringe pump/piggyback or injecting it into a 1L bag of NS? - besides the obvious that the 1L will take longer to infuse? Will the dose still be effective? There's nothing wrong in injecting it into the 1L correct? There will still be relief? Thanks in advance!
