ICYMI: Imported IV fluids can contain as much as 60 millilitres of air compared to 5 millilitres in Australian-made products. ANZCA President Dave Story says while the risk of an air embolism is small clinicians need to be aware #anaesthesia @amamedia.bsky.social:

Air inside imported IV fluid bags is posing an extra risk in emergencies

Imported IV fluids containing as much as 12 times more air than those made in Australia are posing a heightened air embolism risk in emergencies for clinicians to manage.
