Fluid Shortages - best practices

  • 1.  Fluid Shortages - best practices

    Posted 10-14-2024 10:00

    I am an educator in North Carolina. We have several urology clinics that do outpatient procedures requiring fluids/irrigation (sometimes as many as 60 3L bags in one case). I know these are nationwide shortages because the plant is in NC. Does anyone have emergency plans in place to deal with this related to outpatient cases? I would love to connect and hear about creative best-practices to help keep these patients cared for.

    Thanks!
