It’s not just ventilators
Demand for drugs given to patients on ventilators is outstripping supply, according to Vizient Inc., a pharmaceutical-purchasing group that works with more than half of U.S. hospitals and health systems. Hospital orders for sedatives, analgesics and neuromuscular blockers increased 58% overall in March compared with January, Vizient said. Those medicines are used to prevent movement, manage pain and soothe patients who can’t breathe without the assistance of a machine. …
“These drugs maximize the work the ventilator can do, so the patient can heal and recover,” said Dan Kistner, senior vice president of pharmacy solutions at Vizient. “If we don’t focus on the drugs that are critical to making these ventilators go, then having the ventilators doesn’t matter.”
“If you have a car, but no gas, you can’t get anywhere,” he said.
