We are presently in dialogue with pharmacy re central administration of vancomycin and are looking for more evidence to support this. Lynn, we have your 3 articles (thank you!); however pharmacy is requesting further published references. I know many of the esteemed nurses on this list serve have been instrumental in implementing this in your facilities. Would love to know what evidence you presented to facilitate this. If your pharmacy has a parenteral drug manual in which administration of Vanco via CVAD is recommended (or any another reference), could you kindly email or fax a copy to me.
Many thanks,
