“Where there may be higher demand for individual drugs, we have supported our members & intensive care medicine colleagues with guidance on alternative drugs & clinical techniques.” #COVID_19 bit.ly/COVID-19drugSD
"There are appropriate alternatives for each drug to ensure patients will receive effective medication when needed."
Vice President Mike Grocott speaking to BBC News about clinical guidance to provide safe anaesthesia & effective & compassionate intensive care in #Covid_19
We recognise the concerns of our members over drug demand, we would like to highlight that anaesthetic & ICU staff regularly manage drug stock levels through alternative medications & techniques & have extensive experience of delivering safe patient care bit.ly/DrugsCovid
For anaesthetists & intensivists we have developed guidance to help you manage additional demand for medicines in critical care & anaesthesia during the on-going #COVID19 pandemic: bit.ly/COVID-19drugSD
For the public it’s important to understand that alternative drugs are available if those normally used by anaesthetists & intensivists are in short supply. We’ve created a set of FAQs to help you understand how this will be managed: bit.ly/COVID-19DrugFAQs
