Event Description
|
It was reported that 3 bd spinal anesthesia trays experienced anesthesia that would not work.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: we had 3 failed spinals with this lot number on the same day that were placed by experienced providers.The procedures were then performed on these patients a second time using a different lot number and worked as intended.The patients in these cases did not get numb (anesthetized) when using the bupivacaine in those listed kits.So essentially ineffective anesthesia.There was no adverse event other than we had to reposition those patients and place a second spinal anesthetic using kits from another lot.These were experienced providers, so highly unusual occurrence of 3 in one day.
