Vecuronium and rocuronium in ADS?

Hello,
Due to increases in COVID-19 related intubations, our intensivists are asking that we load vecuronium and rocuronium vials in our ICU ADS (omnicell). We currently have these vials inside RSI kits, available through override in our ICUs and ED, but they are asking that we build an order panel in our EMR (Epic) that includes the vial for bolus and a drip and have the vials readily available on the unit. Has anyone received similar requests and did you change your process due to COVID--19 related intubations?

Thank you!

Julieth Formosa, Pharm.D., BCPS
