clevidipine

Hello,

Our OR team would like to start using clevidipine instead of nitroprusside. Since clevidipine has a milky appearance like propofol, there is a safety concern. Any of you use clevidipine in the OR setting? Any safety mechanisms you have in place? Any information you can provide me would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
