Abstract
Incompatibilty of parenteral drug admixtures is a subject
with such wide ramifications that the problem of correlating
all the factors will in future probably only be controlled
by computer techniques. In the meantime, a knowledge of
pH factors and a sound reference library, together with a
pre-planned use of drug combinations wherever possible,
will do much to alleviate the problem.
Useful reference articles and facets of pH are discussed.
Consideration should be given to avoiding admixtures of
undocumented drugs in infusion fluids, and use should be
made of a single drug injection at a separate locus.
