1 PS1006 SARASOTA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL DEPARTMENT POLICY TITLE: PHARMACEUTICALS FOR CRITICAL CARE AREAS, HEMODIALYSIS, PACU, EMERGENCY CARE CENTER, CARDIAC CARE AREAS, NEURO PROGRESSIVE CARE, AND THE MECKLER EFFECTIVE DATE: REVISED DATE: POLICY TYPE: (Pharmacy) (Patient Care) 9/07 4/16 DEPARTMENTAL INTERDEPARTMENTAL DEPARTMENTS PROVIDING NURSING CARE 1 of 14 Job Title of Responsible Owner: Director, Pharmacy PURPOSE: POLICY STATEMENT: EXCEPTIONS: DEFINITIONS: To provide an institutional protocol for titration of selected intravenous pharmaceuticals administered by continuous infusion to be utilized when the prescriber does not provide specific instructions for titration or when the prescriber requests titration per SMH protocol. Selected pharmaceuticals administered by continuous intravenous infusion that require titration of dose to achieve an optimal therapeutic response may potentially put a patient at risk for an adverse drug event. To minimize this risk, the following guidelines have been developed to allow for the administration of the lowest effective dose by standardization of dose titrations. The Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee will approve the pharmaceuticals and corresponding titrations. 1. Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. 2. Pediatrics. Standard (Low) Dose: Medication administration guidelines to be utilized for non-emergent situations. Emergent (High) Dose: accelerated dosing titrations to be utilized for emergent situations as identified by the prescribing prescriber. PROCEDURE: 1. The dosing parameters and titrations listed in the table below may be utilized whenever the prescriber does not provide specific titration parameters, or when the prescriber requests dose or titrate per protocol. 2. Specific prescriber orders for titration parameters varying Prepared by: Karen Diffley \\smhfile01\paperless\department policies\nursing\nur_patientcare\126_156.doc 4/29/2016
2 2 of 14 from these guidelines are permitted. The pharmacist will review these orders for appropriateness prior to dispensing. 3. Refer to Standard Titrations of Selected Pharmaceuticals ( Appendix A) RESPONSIBILITY: It is the responsibility of the Department of Pharmacy leadership to ensure that all appropriate pharmacy staff members are aware of, and adhere to, this policy. It is the responsibility of Nursing leadership to ensure that all appropriate nursing staff members are aware of, and adhere to, this policy. It is the responsibility of all appropriate pharmacy and nursing staff members to be aware of, and adhere to, this policy.
