Abstract
Recently, the Neonatal and Paediatric Pharmacist Group (NPPG), with support from the Royal College of Paediatrics & Child Health (RCPCH), proposed a national standard for intravenous infusion concentrations in children. The RCPCH recommendations are an important move towards ‘safer and more efficient’ standardisation, for example, by mitigating avoidable misdosing incidents, and are overwhelmingly a welcome development. Nevertheless, we note that if infusion concentration is standardised, then the infusion flow rate is determined. Here, we report a consequential risk not acknowledged in the proposal.
