Procrit to Aranesp
Does anyone have a guideline or "practice" of switching bloodless patients from EPO to DARBO inpatient at a certain point? We continue to use EPO for bloodless inpatients who are anemic depending on how anemic and how fast we need to get them up we may start out daily for a couple days, give three times a week or once a week.
We have a long term inpatient who should have been switched to DARBO because she is now chronically anemic. Thought we would try to develop a standard like - give EPO until Hgb on the upswing, signs and symptoms improve, after 1 week of EPO etc.
Anyone know what I'm looking for?
