IV Administration of Investigational Products: A Panel Discussion

Administering intravenous (IV) investigational products is not as simple as it seems and varies among research sites. This webinar will discuss various issues related to IV product administration including: the role of pharmacy, priming the line, flushing the line, documenting start and stop times, managing and documenting infusion interruptions, and how to manage differences in practice within an organization. You will hear from three organizations about their standard practices for IV administration of investigational products.
