Physico-chemical stability of Plasma-Lyte 148® and Plasma-Lyte 148® + 5% Glucose with eight common intravenous medications.

Morphine, fentanyl, ketamine, salbutamol, aminophylline, and clonidine are stable for 24 hours when mixed with Plasma-Lyte 148® and Plasma-Lyte 148®+5% Glucose for administration at concentrations equivalent to those found at a typical Y-site with maintenance fluid. Furosemide is stable at lower concentrations than those seen at a Y-site, but midazolam displayed instability.
