Exploring a case of incompatibility in a complex regimen containing Plasma-Lyte 148 in the pediatric intensive care.

Replication of the case revealed that both midazolam and ketamine contributed to the precipitation. Midazolam and ketamine were both evaluated as incompatible with the buffered electrolyte solution and midazolam also with the buffered electrolyte-glucose solution and should not be co-administered in the same i.v.-catheter line. Fentanyl and potassium chloride were interpreted as compatible with both buffered electrolytes.
