I have a couple of questions for folks on the listserv. Is "back priming" the method of choice for priming tubing for your secondary infusion (mini-bag). Staff do this to maintain a "closed" sysytem. (Use the primary solution to prime the secondary tubing.)
Under what conditions is this acceptable? If you have 3 different secondary medications, do you use the same tubing for all 3 infusions or do you use a separte tubing set for each drug. How often do you change the secondard tubing? If you are using the same tubing for all of your secondary infusions, is it still acceptable to "back-prime"? Thanks
