Hi Brenda/all-

In Texas we have Standing Delegation Orders, attachment 15 has the basic process for sputum induction. Our sites may buy portable nebulizers and they order normal saline via the state pharmacy (some prefer hypertonic saline 3% with MD order) to induce.

They are found here:

Feel free to email/call me directly for more details.

Thanks!

Have you taken a look at Appendix IIa in http://www.tbcontrollers.org/docs/resources/NTCA_APHL_GeneXpert_Consensus_Statement_Final.pdf ? It doesn’t include having Albuterol on hand just in case of wheezing.

Good luck!

Sputum induction protocols - Montoya, Brenda, DOH (29 Nov 2017 18:12 EST)

Sputum induction protocols by Montoya, Brenda, DOH (29 Nov 2017 18:12 EST)

Our TB program in New Mexico is looking at the possibility of performing sputum inductions.

Does anyone have any protocols that they would be willing to share? Does anyone have protocols that include sputum inductions in patient homes or other settings if negative pressure rooms are not accessible?

Anything will help.

Thank you in advance.

We have bought an induction machine, but do not have protocols yet, so I would be very interested if anyone has them also...Denny
