TEMS - Lidocaine syringe Shortage
The Tidewater EMS Council has just been notified of a shortage of lidocaine 100mg/5mL syringes.
Currently, we stock 4 in the red box. With them not being used/replaced often (TEMS protocols under IO access and second line anti-arrhythmic option) the plan, for now, would be:
Decreasing Lidocaine syringe PAR to #2 for restocking if they do happen to be used/expired. And that will leave plenty for 1-2 doses if needed.
SBAR/Inventory shortage update is attached.
Please let me know if there are any concerns or questions about this shortage.
Thank you,
David Coulling, EMS Regional Field Coordinator | ||||||
