Insulin Management in the OR

I am reaching out to find out how insulin is currently managed in the OR suite.

1. Who obtains the insulin for the anesthesiologist to administer to the patient?
2. What is the method of ordering?
3. How is the insulin dispensed? Omnicell or Prepared by the OR Pharmacist?

Thanks for sharing your insights.

Charlene
