Subject: labeling for NS, lido, & heparin in sterile field
I would like to know your practice regarding labeling
syringes of NS, lido, &/or heparin in the sterile
field for picc insertions.
currently I don't label them: a 10cc syringe for NS
and a 3cc syringe for lido; and no heparin in the
sterile field. I would assume that is "safe" enough.
but for the 2006 patient safety goals, I was told that
is not good enough.
any comments, please
