How does your pharmacy department supply adenosine for infusion for fractional
flow reserve studies during a cardiac cath?
These are typically done with a short IV infusion (140 - 180 mcg/kg/min x 1 to
4 mins). We currently make 90 mg in 45 ml NS (2 mg/ml) bags and stock in a
pyxis machine with a minimum PAR level. Given the short stability of these
bags (24 hours), we tend to waste about 30% of the bags we stock that go unused.
I'm reaching out to this list serve to see how other institutions with cath
labs supply adenosine for FFR studies.
Thanks,
Bill
