The context is an infant hospitalised in the paediatric ICU for respiratory virus, placed on mechanical ventilation.
In the list of drugs administered to the patient, the following appears:
BOLO DI KETAMINE 0.4 cc + 1 cc + LAV 4 cc.
For further context, the patient is fully sedated.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance as always

washout
It is possible that the abbreviation means a "LAVAGGIO" with saline solution. It is performed to dilute ketamine after bolus administration.
"There is no specific decontamination measure for extravasated ketamine, although saline washout is an efficient method for dilution."

Luer-activated valve (LAV)
E' possibile che non si tratti di un farmaco, ma di un dispositivo di somministrazione intravenosa probabilmente della stessa Ketamina. Naturalmente si tratta solo di una ipotesi.

A possibility is Live Attenuated Vaccine (LAV)
The 4 cc can be the doses.
A live attenuated vaccine creates a good immune response (cellular and antibody) and often provides lifelong immunity with only one or two doses. - https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/immunology-and-microbio...
Live attenuated vaccines (LAVs) represent an attractive approach for children at least 4–6 months old, because they provide active immunization that mimics natural infection without causing enhanced RSV disease.. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6996857/
