We monitor staff more extensively after covid vaccine administration if they have a history of anaphylaxis to vaccine/medication. Does any other facility have a more extensive monitoring plan including dispensing any medications (e.g. Epi pen, diphenhydramine)?

Hi All,

Do you routinely add lidocaine to potassium infusion to prevent pain on administration?

Can your EHR send CancelRx electronic messages to retail pharmacies? What do you do for retail pharmacies who are not set up to receive them yet? How do you educate providers on whether the messages are being sent or they should call the pharmacy or tell the patient?

Hello,

Good Afternoon,
What do you do within your Automatic Dispensing Cabinets to differentiate medications as Look alike/Sound alike medications other than TALLman lettering? We use Omnicell at our large teaching institution.
Thanks ahead of time!

Has anyone else identified an uptick in rectus sheath hematomas in COVID patients?

Has anyone seen any look alike - sound alike errors related to Trilogy ventilators and Trelegy Ellipta inhalers?

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

I am leading a project to understand the best practices for emergency medication storage of ACLS/PALS medications, such as epinephrine, atropine, etc. Usually this means storing medications in a crash cart or separate kit. Would you be able to take this brief 11 question survey to help me understand how your institution stores emergency ACLS/PALS medications?

Here is the link to the survey:
