       MDI's

       There is a hospital shortage of rescue MDI's including albuterol
       and Atrovent. These are needed for COVID as well as PUI's. Other
       pts can use nebs.
       I would recommend restricting the use of MDI's to these pts.
       Also would recommend asking pts to bring in their own MDI's from
       home. They can be checked and blessed by pharmacy.
       Need to do our best to limit the use of nebs in any COVID or PUI
       due to the increased risk of aerosolization .
