This is frightening but at least at my hospital we had a NARCAN shortage. I had to break into code carts to get it. We are also experiencing the solumedrol problem, and did have a unasyn problem for a while, and an IV lasix problem that had us all using bumex instead, whats up with this?
I wonder if the solumedrol shortage is due to either the enormous amount of pneumonia/COPD exacerbations that we had a couple of months ago, or related to SARS. I don't really know, only speculating. I just know the day that the SARS became public everyone and their family were being admitted for pneumonia/COPD. I was the Solumedrol queen for about three weeks.
