I could only dream that it would be so, but we do document theses events at our facility. Our forms for this are even on line now, to make it a little simpler. Cost, as usual, is a factor in this because fosphenytoin is so very expensive compared to Dilantin. Here we go again!

I hope when we as IV nurses find these issues, they are being reported to ISMP. They have a link on their website to confidentially report issues exactly like this. Since they are a international organization, and independent, maybe with a collection of reports they can get some changes made--like lableing Dilantin to be given via Central line only.... Here is the link to the reporting page of their site: https://www.ismp.org/orderForms/reporterrortoISMP.asp
