Treatment of Anaphylaxis in Outpatient Setting

Kelsie Ophus's picture

Forums: 

For outpatient/ambulatory settings, what is your process for treatment of anaphylaxis? Do you stock anaphylaxis kits w/vial, epi-pens, singular items in your regular med storage? Do you have standing orders in place?

Intrigued at what other institutions are doing well that we can learn from as we analyze our processes.

Thanks!

Unit Dose Repackaging

Forums: 

Hello,

Has anyone ever reviewed their list of repackaged medications to ensure they are suitable for repackaging (i.e. moisture degradation, light sensitivity analysis). If so, I'd be curious to learn how you went about doing it?

Our health-system repackages around 650 different medications and we are about to begin a full audit.

Thanks,
Nowshin

Covid and flu vaccine clincis

Forums: 

With this season's flu clinics we will be offering both flu and Covid shots on the same day, using different arms.

Brainstorming recommendations for safely conducting vaccine clinics using 2 or more vaccines for the same patient. I found a CDC recommendation to set up separate preparation stations for each vaccine to prevent medication errors.

Please share any ideas you may have.

thank you,
Diane

Lorazepam Intensol - Repackaged into Syringes

Forums: 

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I was reading a list on pediatric oral syringes that can be repackaged which includes Lorazepam Intensol Oral Concentration ( https://www.safecorhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Pediatric-Oral-... ).

Are you aware of any stability data regarding repackaged oral Lorazepam in syringes? If so, what is the BUD in the refrigerator and at room temperature?

Thanks for your help.

Override list - policy/detail

Dana Miller's picture

Forums: 

Hi all,
to add to a recent post about override list requests without hijacking the thread, I am curious to know if for your override lists you list exact concentration and package sizes or if you just list the medication name unless there is a specific concentration that must be specified/clarified.

If you list concentrations and package sizes how do you manage drug shortages?
