Recommendations for IV usage amidst the current fluid shortage

On Oct. 9, SIR published a series of recommendations for IR practices to consider when using IV fluids during the current shortage. Baxter International’s Marion, N.C., facility suffered catastrophic damage from Hurricane Helene. As a result, Baxter has suspended operations at the plant, which supplies 60% of IV fluids used in the United States. It is vital for the interventional radiology community to make every effort to conserve the limited supply of IV fluids at this time. SIR emphasizes the importance of prioritizing patient care and suggests that facilities implement strategies to manage the shortage and ensure continuity of care. As always, use your best clinical judgment as you consider mitigation strategies.
