Assessment Of Hypersensitivity Reactions and Feasibility Of a 60 Minute Rapid Infusion Rituximab Protocol At a Comprehensive Cancer Center
Emily Dotson, Brooke Crawford, Gary Phillips, et al.
Key Points:
Rapid infusion Rituximab protocol (R protocol) vs standard R protocol.
Savings in infusion time.
The rate of infusion related reactions observed with rapid infusion protocol was 0% (1-sided 97.5% CI 0-7.1%), with rapid infusion a mean time of 94.2 (95% 90-98.4) minutes was saved and Post infusion nursing surveys demonstrated 100% satisfaction with rapid infusion.
Implications:
- 60-minute rapid rituximab infusion can be safely administered which utilizes less resourses.
