Pentobarbital

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering what dosing protocols your sites use for elevated ICP indication, and if you use a loading dose at the beginning (e.g, over 1 hour or 3 hours), how is the order set built and how do you program it in the pump. A separate IVPB? A bolus from the infusion bag? Are they separate orders in the order set?
