Nasal epinephrine for ENT cases

Hello MSOS Group,

With the recall of the nasal epinephrine 30 mL vials with the removable cap to allow pouring into a bowl in the OR to facilitate soaking pledgets for ENT surgery cases, what are other sites doing instead?

These pourable bottles have previously been featured in ISMP newsletters in lieu of stocking the injectable 30 mL vials which have been involved with accidental IV administration during these cases.

Is anyone using the Neffy spray to spray onto the pledgets? Other alternatives?

Thank you,

Lynda
