Hi…I am revamping our Vancomycin pre-printed order…wondering if anyone is willing to share their PPO…I am also interested in knowing at what concentration do you administer Vancomycin via fistula (technically, this is peripheral administration…we administer at a lower concentration compared to central administration?)…thank you in advance
Here is the link to our Manitoba Renal Program preprinted orders. See under Catheter related bacteremia for vanco: https://www.kidneyhealth.ca/mrp-staff-portal/mrp-order-sets/
Dilution (not different for fistula vs catheter) – IV Intermittent (for Hemodialysis Patients – administered in dialysis unit):
Dilute 500 mg in 100 mL NS and administer over the last 30 minutes of dialysis
Dilute 750 mg or 1000 mg doses in 100 mL NS and administer over the last 60 minutes of dialysis
Dilute doses greater than 1000 mg and up to 1500 mg in 100 mL NS and administer over the last 90 minutes of dialysis
