Our hospital has been using cefepime instead of Zosyn since it may be given IV push.

Antibiotics/ normal saline shortage (Tara Miller) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2018 15:16:14 +0000 From: Tara Miller <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: [Sepsis Groups] Antibiotics/ normal saline shortage Message-ID: <601307CBE6540A45A4B1CBBA5DD570368E3D8FD5@JANDC500-MBN06.InfirmaryHealth.local> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Is anyone else having issues with no spike bags or normal saline bags available for mixing antibiotics? Our hospital and pharmacy are completely out of most saline bags. We are mixing all antibiotics manually. Have you heard of CMS allowing IM/IO antibiotics due to this shortage? Thanks.
