9/12/24 Continuous Albuterol: Verification Workflow
September 12, 2024

Per request by Respiratory Therapy, the Continuous albuterol orders have been updated today to consist of 20 mL albuterol 0.5% (100 mg) and 20 mL sodium chloride [Total Volume: 40 mL].  Pharmacy will still need to ensure the albuterol additive checkbox is selected at verification, but I wanted to update this message to point out the total volume change going forward (highlighted below).
