We give Zosyn here over 4 hours as well but we have in our sepsis order set to give the first dose over 30 minutes and make that a STAT for our sepsis patients. We also have made that order on our Rapid Response Order Sheets to give this dose stat and over 30 minutes. We also try to educate that we always want to give Zosyn prior to Vanc. Hope this helps.

If so, would you be willing to share? For example, struggling sometimes with Zosyn, nurses are waiting to hang it last since it infuses over 4 hours.
