27 The Shortage Impacts Recognition and Assessment Road map Response Community approach to problem solving Options and Alternatives Present day and the Future

28 Drug Shortages: Background Drug shortages increasing since 2010: Typically generic sterile injectable products Usually caused by manufacturing quality problems Fewer manufacturers = cascading shortages FDA authorities Help manufacturers quickly resolve quality problems Require manufacturers notify FDA in advance if aware or ASAP if sudden Request that other manufacturers make same/alternative drugs Expedite application reviews/inspections for new manufacturers Work with manufacturers for temporary importation of drug DEA For controlled substances (e.g. opioids), DEA sets amount of raw material manufacturers can get via aggregate production quotas

39 Suggested IV Fluids Conservation Methods (When Possible) Oral hydration (D/C IV fluid) Use Syringe Pumps for IV med administration to conserve fluid Use smallest bag appropriate for task; for example: Choose pre-op fluids to complement intra-op needs (instead of switching between NS and LR) Minimize KVO orders Utilize conservative intra-op IV fluid replacement Avoid reactionary micro-fluid changes Change fluid only when current bag depleted

40 Conservation Considerations Prescribe PO meds Consider IM administration IV PO Medication Substitutions Additional Education on IV Push Medications

43 Decrease Usage of Small Volume IV Fluids Medication IV Push? Alternative compatibility Cordarone Yes - Per ACLS guidelines D5W (bolus doses 150mg) Dexamethasone (dose >10mg) Yes - Doses < 10mg D5W Diphenhydramine Yes if used for anaphylaxis D5W Fosphen Do not exceed 150 mg PE/minute D5W or NSS 250mL Dilute to 1.5 to 25 mg PE/mL Granisetron Yes D5W Metoclopramide HCL D5W (only if > 10mg) Yes over 1-2 minutes (doses <10mg) Metoprolol Yes - over 1 minute D5W Ondansetron > 16mg No D5W Phytonadione No D5W Prochlorperazine Yes - IV push at a rate not exceeding 5 mg/minute Not compatible with NSS or D5W

44 Controlled Substance Shortage: Severe shortage of several narcotics Morphine Methadone Hydromorphone Fentanyl HCL Meperidine HCL Guidance - Please discontinue IV narcotics & use ORAL medications whenever possible

45 Going Forward Drug Shortages: Advocacy Maintain Awareness: Monitor FDA IV & Drug Shortages webpage National Drug Shortage Summit Informal coalition involving national organizations representing health system pharmacists, oncologists, anesthesiologists, children s hospitals, safety groups, AHA active with group as well Advocated together to raise profile of drug shortages and successful in getting changes to law, e.g. (The Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA),

46 Going Forward Maintain Awareness: Monitor FDA IV & Drug Shortages webpage

47 Drug Shortages: What Should Congress / FDA Do? Manufacturers should provide FDA with more information on the causes of shortages and expected duration Require manufacturers to establish contingency plans and/or redundancies Manufacturers need to be more transparent Examine drug shortages as a national security initiative The FTC should include in its review of drug company merger proposals the potential risk for drug shortages.
