Standarization and characterization of intravenous drug dilutions in critically ill pediatric patients
The physicochemical properties (osmolarity and pH) and vesicant nature of drugs are key factors contributing to the development of phlebitis in critically ill pediatric patients. Standardizing and characterizing drug dilutions will facilitate the selection of the most appropriate vascular access device, improving the safety and effectiveness of intravenous therapy.
