Our facility needs a policy on which vasoactive meds can be given on our telemetry unit and we are searching for evidenced based guidelines on how often to take VS, telemetry strips, etc. If anyone can guide me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
Your best guidance will be the monograph on each drug in Intravenous Medications, by Gahart and Nazareno, a handbook published annually by Mosby. Each monograph contains a section on Monitoring. Lynn
