Shortage of 5 litre intravenous fluids

News
30 Sep 2022 BEVA

BEVA have been looking into the current shortage of 5 litre bags of intravenous fluids. Unfortunately, there do not appear to be any alternative preparations in anything larger than a 1l bags available at this time. There are hopes for supplies to be available in December, if not before. For now, the best alternative appears to be 1 litre bags, which some are considering decanting into used 5L bags. We will provide updates on this situation when we are able to.
