Medication orders for intra op

Hello,
I am inquiring about how other organizations handle medications for intra op orders. Are all the meds (such as ATB, ATB for irrigation, cardiac drips) available in the OR for anesthesiologist to pick from a pyxis machine or department stock therefore not utilizing a pharmacist? If pharmacy dispenses, is there an order sent to pharmacy? Is the preference card for a case utilized as the order for pharmacy?
Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Marilyn Hargett
