IV Piggyback (IVPB) Setup |
■ The piggyback bag must be higher than the IV bag. To do this, hang the primary bag from an extension hook (see right).
■ Use most proximal access port on primary line.
■ Adjust piggyback stopcock to desired rate.
■ After infusion is complete, the primary IV bag will begin to drip again. Discard IVPB bag.
■ Reconfirm that primary drip rate is correct.
■ Document: medication, infusion rate, date, and time.
