- Adrenergic drugs should be diluted before administration to prevent irritation and damage to the veins.- Using an infusion pump helps control the rate of administration, ensuring the drug is delivered at a safe, steady pace.- Monitoring for blanching at the infusion site is important as it can indicate extravasation, where the drug leaks into the tissue around the vein, which can cause tissue damage.
