EMS Drug Shortage Report    April, 2025

0 Comments
    The latest backorder report has stabilized.  We are “down to” a place where only 32 preparations of emergency drugs are not available. Key shortages:
     •              Amiodarone – Limited inventory continues to be available in the supply chain, a clear date is currently unknown

    •              Etomidate – 20mg, 10ml vials remain challenged. 40mg, 20ml product is readily available
    •              Cyanokit- Limited inventory continues to be available in the supply chain.  Still in shortage.  Do not move your expired kits out of service.      A “Dear Healthcare Provider” letter is involved. A copy of the letter can be found using the hyperlink within the backorder report.
     There is a contamination potential that has been identified.  A recommendation has been made to administer the product using an Extension set (filtered) that meets specifications is BTM #356671
     The shortage situation is as good as it has been since August 2021.  That only lasted for about 4 months, but at least it was a short reprieve.
