Hello all from NPPA here! See new recommendations for alternative solutions to the IV Fluid Minibag shortage, as per the ECRI Institute as of January 18. (For the below link, just need to highlight and choose to "Go To" that web page directly, or copy & paste of course.)
For the most part, we have been able to manage the IV shortages moving to IV Push when possible and putting measures in place to conserve the suppplies we have. The shortage of IV sterile water caught me by surprise this week,especially since, IV bags both 1000ml and 2000ml are on backorder as well as all of the SDV.
What are your facilities doing to manage this particular shortage>
