Thanks Donna, but I tried that route already.  I did find out a good bit of evidence for their reasoning, and I may even agree with it, but it still does not solve the problems of what happens when that huge 18 gauge goes back to the floor after surgery, and is used by the nurses to infuse things that probably should not even be given through a 20 gauge, if peripheral at all.  We (the anesthesiologist and I) are on the same page now though.  I see their reasoning, and now they also see mine, and we are working to solve the problem.  I will keep everyone informed with what we come up with.
Thanks!
