ISMP Best Practice 7: Neuromuscular Blockers
I was wondering if anyone has any best practice with regard to NMB storage in Anesthesia Work Stations (AWS)? Within our institution NMBs are located in a locked matrix drawer. We were looking into how to better differentiate these products in a matrix AWS to prevent the possibility for mix-ups. Has any institution looked at NMB storage in AWS and come up with any solution for safe storage beyond the locked drawer?
