TEMS - Lidocaine syringe Shortage

Subject: TEMS - Lidocaine syringe Shortage
Date: August 11th 2022

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,
