Setting up for first case in a surgery center that I rarely go to, reached for the lube for a LMA and noticed the only lube on the anesthesia cart in the drawer labeled lubrication was a tube of petroleum jelly that resembled our usual large tubes of water soluble lube. Around 1/4 of the petroleum jelly had been used. I threw the tube away and notified admin. I can’t imagine this on a ETT or LMA would be a good thing…..
