M. Maqueda-Palau, E. Prez-Juan, M.J. Arvalo-Rubert, S.M. Ideally, this shouldn't be run through a single peripheral IV line (to prevent vein sclerosis). It is important to recognize that compatibility is not just Stability of milrinone lactate in the presence 29 critical care drugs and 4 i.v. provided compatibility information on 393 out of 945 possible combinations.5,7 After completing the systematic review, new stability data for 82 drug combinations were added. Chemical Stability: Chemically stable. Low magnesium levels usually don't cause symptoms. RELATED: What Does Potassium Chloride React With? Can You Run Phosphate And Potassium Together? ;}9fUe ][n, 77"^tSg7~Yk^m_m_m_mMT Zbqx| j The systematic review included 29 studies (27 originals, 2 reviews). Use Alternative Drug. A total of 48 papers were identified. WebTherefore, the final table shows the compatibility data of 475 out of 945 possible combinations of 2 drugs (50.3%). 2002 Jan-Feb;6(1):62-5. consider target potassium level (more) WebIv Medication Solution Compatibility Chart For Nurses Uploaded by: run.rebel.run April 2020 PDF Bookmark Download This document was uploaded by user and they confirmed that they have the permission to share it. It is important to recognize that compatibility is not just Accordingly, drug stability knowledge was available for 50.3% of the studied admixtures, in which 77.1% of the binary combinations proved compatible and 16.8% proved incompatible. Specializes in Med-Surg, Trauma, Ortho, Neuro, Cardiac. Militello. PMC Dilution: Potassium chloride concentrate is compatible with the majority of commonly used intravenous infusion fluids. Physical compatibility studies are the most common of all because they are easy to conduct. The IV was shut off. Of these, 366 are compatible (77.1%), 80 are incompatible (16.8%), and 29 are compatible in specific conditions (6.1%) as shown in Table 2. Clinical review: medication errors in critical care. hbbd```b``" mT|"e?HiA09DJYY R fIF^-0[D_ e:L ; ^ WebCompatible: metronidazole, ranitidine, vancomycin Intermittent Infusion 30-60 minutes Dilute with 50-100ml NS, G. Preferred concentration 2.5mg/ml in NS. Thus, if this allegedly compatible mix is performed in physiological serum, a loss of concentration of amiodarone can occur with the corresponding risk of lack of therapeutic response. DKA or re-feeding syndrome). Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Chemical Stability: Chemically stable. The lack of information on the safe mix of 2 drugs creates problems in the daily work of ICU nursing teams. In the context of an ICU patient with no obvious GI potassium losses, persistent/recurrent hypokalemia implies renal potassium wasting. May be useful in the following situations: (1) Patients with severe volume overload who require. Table 2. The research was published in the journal Neurotypical and was released online on December 4, 2013. Check tubing below Y-site carefully for discoloration, cloudiness or precipitation = (Blank) DO NOT MIX; conflicting or no compatibility information available A fractional excretion of potassium >9.3% suggests renal potassium wasting (with sensitivity of 81% and specificity of 86%). Mixing solutions containing calcium or magnesium ions has a substantial risk of forming an insoluble calcium or magnesium salt. Round IV supplementation to the nearest 7.5 or 15 mmol increment 1.6-2.3 mg/dL Phosphate-potassium packet (PHOS-NAK powder) 2 (two) packets every 4 hours while awake x 3 dosesB Phosphate-potassium packet (PHOS-NAK Potassium chloride is inexpensively available and is rarely used in the laboratory. Report DMCA Overview QT prolongation). P. Merino, M.C. Combinations of physical and chemically compatible drugs with concentrations below the reference mark. May consider checking a full electrolyte panel (including Calcium, Magnesium, and Phosphate): Electrolyte abnormalities often occur in pairs and triplets (electrolytic disarray). Visual compatibility of amiodarone hydrochloride injection with various intravenous drugs. Specializes in MPH Student Fall/14, Emergency, Research. Select a second drug the same way (limited to 2 drugs) 3. The authors declared no conflicts of interest whatsoever. Compatibility depends upon many factors including temperature, pH, IV fluid, concentration, order of mixing and brand of drug. )J23~v1aYz qL4p}t%& IV magnesium may be the fastest way to reduce the risk of arrhythmia (because magnesium can be given rapidly). J.D. Visual compatibility of clonidine with selected drugs. Fernndez-Llamazares, M.M. In my time there we have still never used IV potassium and opt for PO k-dur instead. S.R. Our hospital stopped using IV potassium because we had too many sentinel events involving their use. Vasoactive drugs, analgesics, and sedatives are among the most widely used therapeutic groups and are usually administered in continuous infusion. Specializes in Trauma/ED. Web17. The resulting salt can then be reconstituted by recrystallization. For example, even though the pH is a critical factor in the stability of drugs in solution, it was only verified in 12 of the 27 papers. Web1. For patients with hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, rapid correction of hypomagnesemia is safe and may quickly decrease the risk of arrhythmia. Clinical context where potassium is likely to fall further (e.g. I sat upright and called for the nurse. Repeat electrolytes if doubt exists about their validity (e.g., inconsistent with clinical context & EKG). A systematic search on Medline, Stabilis, Handbook on Injectable Drugs, and Micromedex databases was conducted for the identification of original papers, review articles and meta-analyses on the physical and chemical compatibility of drugs. M`} d/ J;#A- 0 IJp C%tu0t}vN0{3):UVww A;{ ?M=]\:Zk-=%]%Q`l Repletion of magnesium is often necessary to successfully replete the potassium. J Antimicrob Chemother, 51 (2003), pp. According to the Linus Pauling Institute, all adults over the age of 19 require 4,700 milligrams of potassium per day. The study contributes to the safe administration of intravenous drugs in critical patients with a view to avoiding adverse events in this frail population.
