They only let me put 2 boxes of 25 vials on back order. That is enough for my ER for a day.

Is that what you guys were told? Or is the allocation based on previous usage?

The 2 boxes of propofol for your back-order is very common lately. There have been some weeks when I have gotten zero. Just be sure to keep calling your wholesaler and your APP rep every week to have them put you back on the B/O list. You will eventually get more. You can also call Hospira direct and have them put you on their list for shipment when it's available. It may be a while, but at least you might get something when they do have a release. Our facility also is using some Etomidate as a substitute for certain patients.
