EEG four months ago showed abnormal bilateral epileptiform discharges with and without synchrony In addition to diffuse slowing Her latest CMP result shows that she has normal ver and renal function (bilirubin = 0.4 mg/dl, albumin 44 g/dL, serum creatinine = 0.63 mg/dL) tests from the physical laboratories. Dr. Bachman wants to initiate phenytoin. You are conduited for a recommendation of an initial loading dose of IV phenytoin sodium for AS a. Phenytoin loading dose: of handout for pediatric dosing) mg (Round to the nearest 50 mg) (see page 2 I b. What type of bag can you use? (Remember compatibility - see page 3 of handout) (Use 100 mL size bag) 2. Rale of administration of the calculated loading dose, given as a single dose mL/min (Remember the total volume = volume from vial + Infusion bag) (You will provide a rango) English (United
3. You will then need to follow-up with a daily maintenance dose of phenytoin to keep a steady-state phenytoin concentration equal to 15 mg/L. Maintenance IV daily phenytoin dose (see page 2 of handout); mg (Round to the nearest 50mg) (You will provide a range)
4. Assume (50 mg/mL) concentration for phenytoin vial. What volume of phenytoin will you need to make the maintenance dose? Compound this dose. a. Volume of phenytoin to use calculated in #3) _mL (based off the maintenance dose you b. What size and type of bag can you use? (see page 3 of handout) C. What size syringe can you use?
