3% sodium chloride for Transport

For hospitals with pharmacy preparing Transport bags of medications and supplies, do you include 3% hypertonic saline in the Transport bag? If so, how do you safeguard it? Do you dispense it from pharmacy for the Transport team? We currently stock mannitol, but are recently having more issues with maintaining them crystal-free. Our Transport team is also requesting it based on TBI guidelines, though I am very hesitant to keep them in the Transport bag. Thank you! -Melody Sun, CHOC Children's
