Re: vanc infusion volumes

We usually send our Vanco (the majority of the doses ) in 200 to 250 ml and run over 90 minutes   Ann Marie Parry ----- Original Message ----- From: Riley, Deb To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 2:18 PM Subject: vanc infusion volumes Can homecare members give me some feedback on how your vanc is supplied for home infusion.  We used to have any vanc doses up to 1.5gm put in 250ml diluent to infuse over 60-90 minutes.  Anything over 1.5gm went in 500ml of diluent to infuse over 2-2 1/2hr.  The pharmacist is now telling us they have to put 1.5gm in 500ml in order to meet guidelines.  Is everyone else doing the same?   Deb Riley RN CRNI Infusion Supervisor Summa's Homecare Akron, Ohio
