Important Changes to ALS Bag & Primary Response Bag
Effective immediately, you will notice in the PRB that the D50 and 250cc NS have been removed and a 250cc bag of D10 has replaced it. Going forward, we will be using premixed D10 and not mixing D50 into NS ourselves. The remainder of the D50 in the ALS bag will be replaced with D10 on bag check day 1/1. Additionally, promethazine and procainamide are being removed from the ALS bag on 1/1. Finally, Glucagon is going from a stock of two to just one in each tackle box.
