IV additives

[Jayne OConnor]

Dear All,

Could you comment on the following questions that I have been asked to advise on?
What is the advised frequency of changes to IV fluids bags with additives ?
What constitutes an additive, are they called additive when they are compounded on the ward only? ”

Many Thanks
