From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Nancy Sullivan Sent: Fri 2/3/2006 6:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Dilantin 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 Nancy Sullivan RN ________________________________ Yahoo! Mail <http://us.rd.yahoo.com/mail_us/taglines/virusmail/*http://mail.yahoo.com> - Helps protect you from nasty viruses.
