We had the same issue with anesthesia. We are now using the Proair inhalers for anesthesia only,due to the cost, and the Ventolin HFA throughout the rest of the hospital.

Thanks for the replies. We are going to try the Proair for the picky vent and anesthesia people and keep with the half the cost stuff for everyone else. Let's just hope they don't change them for a while.
