Updated Needs List

Yay- our next team arrives in less than 1 month- I couldn't be more excited!

I have a few items to add to the Needs List from the last post.    We need another battery for our AED (the Guesthouse AED).   The AED is a Philip's Heartstart RefM5070A with battery serial #B40027P-1844.   Please let me know (phillynic@gmail.com) if you can help with this.  The pads are also expired.

As far as the clinic goes- we are very low on Foley catheters.   There seem to be plenty of straight caths but no foleys.    As always we will need laps, gowns, drapes and towels (all STERILE please!).

Medications:  Please refer to the last post for medication suggestions.  I will add ephedrine to that list.  Vitamins and ibuprofen are critically low and we are completely out of anti-fungals, augmentin and almost out of cipro.   Any and all beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and ACE inhibitors are needed (we are out of HCTZ).

Thanks again for your help!  Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions or comments!
