Dear Colleagues
In our hospital, we have a centralized chemotherapy production site, necessitating transport of compounded cytotoxics by truck from the hospital pharmacy to the hospital itself. Depending on storage temperature, we sometimes see condensation between the secondary packaging and primary infusion bag when the chemotherapy is unpacked on the wards. This always leads to questions by nursing how to proceed in the rare case it might be spilling and not condensation. Does anyone have tackled a similar problem in a constructive way?
Thank you very much and kind regards from Zürich, Switzerland
