Clinicians frequently prescribe gamma globulins for antibody deficiencies but are not very familiar with the administration of immunoglobulins. However, their oversight of these infusions is important. This workshop will provide instruction on administration of IV SQ in order to facilitate SQ and assist clinicians in determining the best product for each patient.
