As Hurricane Milton approaches, hospitals are facing a critical shortage of IV fluids, with a major facility that produces over half of the nation’s IV solutions closing due to the storm. To conserve supplies, some hospitals are resorting to using Gatorade as an alternative and extending the use of IV bags. This disruption highlights the vulnerability of the medical supply chain, as multiple manufacturing plants in the southeastern U.S. and Puerto Rico have been damaged by recent natural disasters.

With Hurricane Milton potentially impacting a key IV solution supplier, B. Braun, hospitals may face further delays in receiving essential medical supplies. As a result, healthcare facilities may need to resort to compounding their own fluids to address the shortage and ensure the continuity of care for patients.

In light of the IV fluid shortage, family medicine physician Andrew Pasternak suggests that elective IV hydration bars and spas should temporarily shut down to prioritize the needs of critically ill patients who rely on IV fluids for cancer treatments and surgeries. Despite there being a relatively small number of IV bars in the U.S., every effort to conserve IV fluids is crucial during this emergency.

In other news, there has been a noticeable decrease in the number of biomedical Ph.D. graduates opting for industry jobs over academia. The latest data indicates a shift in the trend, with fewer graduates choosing industry positions due to a challenging job market. This change marks a departure from the previous decade of increasing numbers of graduates entering the private sector, with more graduates now securing non-tenure track positions in academia.

Meanwhile, science celebrity Bill Nye is raising awareness about a rare neurological disease called ataxia, which has affected his family for generations. Nye, who has a personal connection to the disease, is advocating for increased awareness and research to better understand and address the challenges faced by individuals living with ataxia.

Additionally, there is ongoing debate about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, with some experts cautioning against overhyping the technology. Aravind Narayan and Sayash Kapoor, authors of the book ‘AI Snake Oil,’ offer a critical perspective on the promises and limitations of AI in healthcare. Despite their skepticism, they remain cautiously optimistic about the potential of AI to transform the healthcare industry.

In conclusion, as Hurricane Milton approaches, the healthcare system is facing challenges in ensuring the availability of essential medical supplies, highlighting the need for proactive measures to address potential shortages and disruptions in the medical supply chain. Stay informed and stay safe during this challenging time.
