Anyone having issues getting lidocaine, saline and contrast? Being told they are on back order
yes all 3 (but switched form omni to iso- so not as bad) - hospital facilityAnyone having issues getting lidocaine, saline and contrast? Being told they are on back order
Yeah might have to start using lido instead of saline to dilute lumbar ILSaline has been impossible. Intermittent problems with lidocaine. No issues with contrast right now. Luckily we have a good supply of all 3
I've unfortunately experienced the same issue with this methylprednisolone which we have been using for a few months now. Much more common that it clogs the 25 gauge needles than the 22s, but I've seen it clog the 22s as well.Be very careful if any of you use this methypred...This entire box clots off my needles, to the point I cannot inject through it...All the way down to 22g.
I've diluted with saline, local, even dexamethasone.
If any of you use this brand, are there steps necessary to dilute this? We weren't told anything like that. First box we've purchased.

We do NOT need another major news story like the fungal incident yrs ago.
Agreed.One more of those and cms will then find that esi has no role and will be gone even though the issue is not with us
Your people need to look harder. Generic depo (not brand name) is available as is betamethasone.We can’t get depo or betamethasone. What are you using for interlams? Dex only? Any other particulate
