We place a bright pink or green sticker on the tubing that states 'for epidural or intrathecal use only' and our tubing also has a yellow stripe. We also mark our pumps. Patti
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DAVID LONGSETH Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2006 12:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Epidural vs IV solution marking question A question for the list--does your institution use any special way of marking epidural solutions to distinguish them readily from IVPB's? Currently our Pharmacy puts a neon pink sticker on the epidurals that says "CAUTION EPIDURAL" but that,tragically,was not sufficient to prevent an administration error. Any ideas? Thanks.
