Ketamine 10 mg/mL and 100 mg/mL Availability in Pyxis
Hey Everyone!
I'm just wondering if anyone has tips or recommendations on safely keeping both 10 mg/mL and 100 mg/mL ketamine in the same Pyxis. We've encountered a few emergency situations where IM or intranasal ketamine (100 mg/mL) was needed, but most of our units currently only stock the 10 mg/mL concentration due to concerns about the significant concentration difference. Both concentrations are currently set as overridable in the Pyxis profile. Any recommendations on how to manage this safely would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
