New Mexico hospitals are bracing for IV shortages created by the destructive weather events in the South.

Shortages are being created by on the supply of IVs after Hurricane Helene 鈥� the hurricane that hit the E 鈥� in Marion, North Carolina.

Troy Clark, president and CEO of the , has been monitoring the situation closely and relaying updates to the state鈥檚 hospitals.

鈥淚 don鈥檛 know what their inventory levels are,鈥� Clark said. 鈥淭hey don鈥檛 report that to me. Obviously, they communicate up to me when they鈥檙e having struggles and to say, 鈥楬ey, are there any other options out there that other states are finding?鈥欌��

A Presbyterian Healthcare Services spokesperson wrote in an email to the Journal: 鈥淎t this time we are not limiting access to necessary use of IV fluids.鈥�

Baxter鈥檚 North Carolina plant manufactures approximately 60%, or 1.5 million bags, of the nation鈥檚 IVs, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

鈥淏axter, a primary supplier of IV fluids and some IV medications for Presbyterian, has been impacted by Hurricane Helene,鈥� Tim Johnsen, chief operating officer for Presbyterian Healthcare Services said in a statement Thursday. 鈥淎s a result, Presbyterian has been closely monitoring the situation. We are working to quickly secure additional supplies and conserve our current supply as appropriate to reduce any impact to our patients.鈥�

IV stands for intravenous, which is injected into a person鈥檚 veins to restore fluid or provide medication.

鈥淭here鈥檚 a whole different range of what those IV solutions are, from strength saline to the ones that have dextrose or glucose,鈥� Clark said. 鈥�(Baxter is) working with the federal government on different things to try and get production shifted to other plants.鈥�

Clark added that Wednesday, Baxter increased the number of its most in-demand fluids that hospitals and distributors can order.

鈥淏axter is advancing multiple paths to help ensure we are appropriately managing inventory and minimizing disruption to patient care as we work to fully restore our North Cove manufacturing operations. This includes implementing allocations which limit what a customer can order based on historical purchases and medical necessity as well as available and projected inventory,鈥� a Wednesday said.

While New Mexico hospitals are preparing for the impacts of the supply shortage, Clark said he hasn鈥檛 heard of any hospitals in dire straits.

鈥淚 don鈥檛 know of anybody who is in what I would call a situation that they are out of supply,鈥� Clark said. 鈥淏ut they are absolutely being proactive in their own hospitals, making their own decisions to be prudent, to try and make sure they don鈥檛 end up in a position where they鈥檙e out of supply. Because emergencies happen every day, whether or not you can give the IV supply.鈥�
