We are getting more and more requests for IV mag infusions in the home post bone marrow transplant (and occassionally pregnancy related)
Is any one else doing these infusions in the home? Do you have a policy/procedure, guidelines, etc that you could share
Thank you

I just looked up Magnesium in the Gahart book for another question and read all of the issues with giving this IV. I am no expert on home infusion but it looks like the required monitoring for respiratory, cardiac, and deep tendon reflexes would prohibit infusion in home care. Eager to read what others are doing.
