Reusing Ipratropium Inhalers Surrey Memorial Hospital
The pediatric pharmacy team at Surrey Memorial Hospital implemented a safe Ipratropium inhaler reuse program after recognizing that most inhalers were being discarded after only a few doses, despite containing substantial remaining medication. The pediatric emergency department alone uses about 1,200 ipratropium inhalers per year; staff collected over 1,000 partially used inhalers before the project began.
