Hi, Has anyone ever heard the expression 'the patient had a 40-minute hold.' following an IM Rocephin. What does this mean?

40-minute hold - Possibly...

if it's an outpatient clinic possible that they are making the patient stay 40 minutes after the injection to make sure there are no adverse reactions.

40-minute hold - S
