I can't even get normal saline. Where do you guys get normal saline
Omnipaque 2.0
Started by macman
Someone chimed in that it’s not the concentration, as 180(or was it 140?) is not for IT either. Was a question about pyrogens.
You going to inject that particular product into the epidural space?
Correct, not just concentration on 140/350 there is a different ingredient of concern
You can't just dilute the 350. For some reason it contains "pyrogens". What is that and why does it seem that it is added? Causes fever (best I can tell) and who the hell knows why...
We have tons of NS ampules. Would love to trade for some omnipague or isovue
Awesoneness. You know. I know.
you using mail order?
i havent tried that. usually using it for when i get back in to town, which has not been since pre-COVID...

Deli was closed, went to bakery. They have like 5 restaurants/shops in that cute neighborhood.
And here I thought you were a good guy until I saw that UGA glass.
he lives in Georgia.
old habits die hard.
but he is getting in to Zingermans.
just wait until you sit down with a Zingermans Reuben. my favorite sandwich.
i know this is sacrilege, i would also say that their pastrami reuben is on par with Katz's.......

Omnipaque140 and 350 not indicated for intrathecal but the others should be fine.

For those of you unable to get contrast look into setting up an account through GE. This is the route I am going. One of the hospitals I am at has been using GE directly.

I didn't read every post on here but are you sure you're supposed to refrigerate it? There are specific temperature ranges for storage of different medications/reagents/dyes, etc. and I believe the one for omnipaque is room temperature.
If I were found to store any item incorrectly for my lab, the CLIA inspector would flag me for it and I could possible lose my certification.

U waste 18cc with each epidural?
It’s either that or 8 cc. We have 20 and 10 cc vials
Did you have any issues during the shortage? Why not just continue what you were doing during the shortage?
as of right now, still rationing, but thats only because changes to hospital systems are sometimes slow to respond...
We still can't get our normal supply. We did order off the secondary market at 10x the cost and also got a shipment of a different concentration. But definitely not back to normal.
Can’t get lidocaine right now either…
We are getting supply trays with lidocaine and have gotten a few shipments of lidocaine 1% ampules. We can't get the larger vials, 2%, 4%, or with epi at all.
the trays i use have 1 lido vials.
save one out of the 2 for later just in case.

I have a few cases, but it is stuck behind my massive surplus of omnipaque.

Why do u need lido with epi?
And SCS trials. ANytime an 11 blade stabs the skin, lido with epi is agent of choice as hemostasis.
Are most of you using Omni 300 or 180? any benefits or risks to the higher concentration besides better visualization?
I would just prefer to use 240 but have mostly 300 at the moment.
Please mail me some of those? 🙂
