IV Push route of administration - ISMP guidelines

jason demuth, pharmacist
Today's link is a great article from ISMP on administration of meds by IV push.  As described in the guidelines, this is one of the easiest ways to incorrectly give a medication that goes straight into the soul of a patient.  Caution is warranted and other options should be considered.

Cost of medications

quick take (and link) on the every rising cost of chemo and orphan drugs. Not sure what the answer needs to be, but prices are getting out of control.

Pharmacy app is the pick of the day

Pick of the day for today - Epocrates.com. For the best pharmacy/medical app you can find.  As far as I am concerned, works best on iOS :)

Today's new link

New link on thejasondemuth.com.  GlobalRPH is a very simplistic site when you just need some down and dirty information on medications, concentrations, rate of administration, and compatibility.

Today's site is an article from ASHP on preparation of compounded sterile products (CSPs).  Most notable is the recommendation to prepare reconstitution devices in a IV compounding hood.
