Hello,
How do you handle patient intrathecal pain pumps that go empty during prolonged hospital stay. They may be admitted for another medical problem and they miss their appt. to refill pump and without the medication(s) their pain is not controlled with IV pain medications. Do you have pain management providers that are willing to consult with the provider managing the pain pump to refill? What is the best approach for this particular patient population.
Thank you
Marilyn
