I know you ladies and gentlmen have probably discussed this many times, but I'm new to these message baords and have a questions.
My hospital has a policy that states: "DO NOT INFUSE DILANTIN THRU PICC LINES." I have been working at this hospital for 3 years and it does seem like every time a nurse puts dilantin into a picc--occlusion and loss of the line. I have been told that it is a flushing problem and lack of education. We use groshong and per q cath piccs. SO PLEASE EDUCATE ME IN THIS MATTER, BECAUSE I WOULD LOVE TO EDUCATE THE REST OF THE STAFF.
Thanks in advance
