Abstract:
We describe our approach to addressing a nationwide supply issue for blood culture bottles. Aerobic blood culture bottles received from our distributor during 1-15 July 2024 were <1% of typical usage. Through education and ordering restrictions of blood culture, designed to minimize risk, orders were reduced by 49% over a 1-week period.
