Subject: Update: AZTreonam 1 g/2 g from IV Push to IV Piggyback 6/12/23

In an attempt to be consistent across all facilities in the Health System, we received a request to update AZTreonam 1 g and 2 g doses so that they are administered IV Piggyback instead of IV Push.

Below is a list of Powerplans that contain IV Push sentences for AZTreonam/Azactam.  Of note, Sepsis Advisor sentences already default as IV Piggyback route.

These changes have been implemented in PROD today (Monday, June 12). Please let us know if you experience any issues with this change.  Thank you.
