Hi, all - I have just started working in a small hospital OR after being away from the OR for several years. The way staff at my new hospital adds bacitracin to irrigation is to empty the bacitracin powder into a bottle of saline, RECAP, shake the bottle, and pour onto sterile field. I thought we weren't supposed to recap bottles?? I mix powder drugs with saline from a vial and squirt that into saline that's already been poured.
Am I missing something here? Is this the new accepted practice? I don't want to be considered old-fashioned :)
