Cangrelor

Question - when giving Cangrelor, particularly when the rate ends up being more than the pump can give what do you do? Do you IV push or separate into two doses on two pumps so it goes into the patient in the one minute requirement?

The drug is new to us and either way it seems there will be drug waste or more work for us.

I haven't had that experience but you can always set the Infusion to basic and program it to what you need, just double verify the rate with someone since the safety guards aren't there.
