Standards of care r/t peripheral and central IV drip rates

[Mary Ann Daly]

Hi Lynn,

 

I followed a nurse whose patient had Levophed running.The drip rate was at .1cc per hour on an IV pump going into the distal lumen of a TLC, femoral access. 

 

Does anyone know what the standards for minimal IV drip rates peripherally and centrally?

 

Thank you
