I am interested in how other sites are entering premixed IV's with multiple ingredients. Specifically the product we are purchasing from a compounding pharmacy is Fentanyl 3 mcg/ml in Bupivacaine 0.1 % 250 ml bag. To enter this into the Meditech drug dictionary (and also the Pyxis formulary) so that the Fentanyl strength appears I created a generic name of Bupivacaine 0.1 % w/Fentanyl and the drug dictionary strength is listed as 3 mcg/ml, 250 ml. Then an IV Set (or String) is created that has the bag as the additive and a dummy drug of premixed IV bag as the carrier with no volume. The problem the pharmacy has is that the bag from the compounding pharmacy comes in as Fentanyl 3 mcg/ml with Bupivacaine 0.1 % 250 ml bag. The pharmacy wants everything to look the same and I cannot come up with a way to enter this into Meditech with Fentanyl first in the generic name. Does anyone out their currently purchase a similar product. If so, how do you enter this into the Meditech system?
