Safeguarding Prostacyclin/CADD Pump Administration

Hello everyone,

Our institution has encountered several reported errors related to the programming of CADD pumps. Because this is a low-frequency but high-risk workflow, nurses often feel unsure or unfamiliar with how to properly program the pumps.

I’m reaching out to see if other health systems have implemented any specific safeguards or best practices to support safe administration and reduce the risk of error. Any insights, tools, or workflows you’ve found effective would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
Dominique
