Standardising intravenous infusion concentrations in children in the UK
NPPG and RCPCH proposal for a national approach for standardised intravenous infusion concentrations in children.
The Neonatal and Paediatric Pharmacist Group (NPPG), with support from the Royal College of Paediatrics of Child Health (RCPCH) has produced a proposal for a national approach for standardised intravenous infusion concentrations in children.
The NPPG and BAPM have worked together to update this framework and introduce some NICU concentrations for some of the drugs listed in the Infusion Standardisation Framework. This framework aims to provide a list of standardised intravenous infusion concentrations for use in infants over 2 kg and children.
