Indiana Hospitals Conserving Resources Amid National IV Fluid Shortage

Indiana Hospitals Conserving Resources Amid National IV Fluid Shortage

Emergency care and urgent surgeries remain unaffected;
Some non-emergent procedures may be rescheduled to preserve supplies 

Oct. 21, 2024 (INDIANAPOLIS) — Indiana hospitals are closely monitoring the ongoing national shortage of IV fluids that has impacted hospitals and health care providers across the country. While hospitals are experiencing varying degrees of impact related to the shortage, recent delays in shipments from third party vendors have forced some hospitals to reassess their stock levels and prioritize their current supply for patients in critical need.

“Despite Baxter’s return to 60% production, and the incoming shipments from international suppliers, it could take weeks until some hospitals begin receiving their allocation of IV fluids,” said Blake Dye, interim president of IHA.

Indiana hospitals have implemented comprehensive conservation plans, which include reviewing and optimizing fluid use for each patient, exploring alternative therapies, and prioritizing the available supply for critical care.

While hospitals are working to ensure continued care for Hoosier patients, some are having to reschedule elective and non-emergent procedures as part of their efforts to preserve supplies. In these cases, patients will be notified by their provider to reschedule their care.

Emergency care and urgent surgeries remain unaffected.

“We’re certainly not alone in this predicament as this is a nationwide shortage impacting every state,” said Dye. “Hoosiers should feel confident that Indiana’s hospitals are managing through the current situation, taking proactive measures that are aligned with clinical best practices, and are working diligently to minimize the impact on patient care.”

IHA continues to work closely with its 174 member hospitals, the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH), and the American Hospital Association, who is in frequent discussions with officials from Baxter, their distributors, and the federal administration to assess current supply levels and convey the impact of the disruption nationwide.

“We appreciate the way that Indiana hospitals are minimizing the impact this national shortage is having on patient care,” said State Health Commissioner Lindsay M. Weaver, M.D., FACEP. “The Indiana Department of Health is in contact with Indiana hospitals and remains dedicated to working with our state and federal partners until the situation is resolved.”

 UE defeats MSU by 3-1 final

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – In a solid team performance from start to finish, the University of Evansville volleyball team earned a 3-1 victory over Missouri State inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse on Saturday evening.

Following a 37-kill effort on Friday, Giulia Cardona picked up 30 on Saturday.  Angelica Gonzalez added 10 while Chloe Cline finished with nine.  Kora Ruff had another solid night as she led the team with 16 digs, 46 assist, and 3 aces.  Cardona tied Ruff’s mark with three aces of her own.

Set 1 – UE 25, MSU 13

Chloe Cline had a nice start to the match, picking up two early kills as the Aces took a 5-3 lead.  Missouri State tied it up and the teams battled to an 11-11 tie.  That is when Evansville made its move, scoring the next five points to take its largest lead at 16-11.

After the Bears got within four at 17-13, the Aces put their best foot forward, scoring the final eight points of the set as they cruised to a 25-13 win.  Kora Ruff served up an ace to clinch the set.

Set 2 – MSU 26, UE 24

Things were close in the early moments, leading to a 6-6 score.  After MSU took an 8-7 lead, the Bears outscored the Aces by a 7-2 margin to open a 15-9 lead.  Evansville never gave up and battled back.

Still trailing by six at 20-14, UE scored five in a row to get within one.  Cardona added three kills to her tally.  SMS retook a 23-21 edge but the Aces continued to battle.  A kill and ace by Cardona put UE on top 24-23.  Unfortunately, the Bears scored the final three points to take the set.

Set 3 – UE 27, MSU 25

Cline picked up a kill to give the Aces a 3-1 lead before an ace by the sophomore made it a 10-7 game.  Evansville continued to add to the lead when another Cline kill gave her team a 17-10 advantage.

A service error by the Bears set UE up with a 21-15 lead, but the visiting team fought back.  Four in a row got them back within a pair and after UE took a 24-20 lead, MS came back with five in a row to take the lead.  Despite the rally by the opposition, the Aces took care of business, finishing with the final three in a row to take a 2-1 match lead.

Set 4 – UE 25, MSU 22

Blakeley Freeman recorded an ace to help her team jump out to a 6-2 lead before picking up her second of the set to push the advantage to 13-7.  Cardona continued another huge performance with kill #28 of the contest cementing a 16-9 edge.  With the Aces up 21-14, MSU worked its way back with four in a row.

Evansville regrouped with two in a row to hold a 24-20 edge.  Following two more tallies by the Bears, Angelica Gonzalez recorded the clinching kill to give UE its second match win of the weekend.  The Aces look for another win on Monday when they travel to Indiana State.

Aces women’s soccer earns a point at Indiana State

The Purple Aces controlled the first half of the match
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville women’s soccer team ended the last road match of the season in a 2-2 draw with the Indiana State Sycamores.
The Purple Aces added another point as the 2024 season winds down at Memorial Stadium on Sunday afternoon. UE scored two goals in the first 30 minutes of the match as sophomore forward Taylor Johnson (Evansville, Ind. / Reitz HS) became Evansville’s goal-scoring leader with three. Graduate defender Rachel Rosborough (Mt. Brydges, Ontario) also added her first goal since 2021 in the tie.
The first half of the match was all Aces as they controlled the pace of play across the pitch. While the Sycamores had the first shots of the afternoon, UE scored on only the team’s second shot. In the 15th minute after an Evansville blocked shot, sophomore midfielder Ashlyn Koutsos (Cumming, Ga. / West Forsyth HS) corralled the rebound at the three and knocked it over to Johnson. Johnson quickly tapped the ball with her right foot to give the Aces an early lead.
UE’s second goal of the match came only 15 minutes later. Sophomore midfielder Ella Hamner (Evansville, Ind. / Memorial HS) had a shot blocked from the top of the penalty arc. The ball went out to the right side of the field by Rosborough who maneuvered her way around an Indiana State defender and split two other Sycamores to score her second career goal. For the final 15 minutes of the first half, Evansville kept the ball away from Indiana State allowing just one shot in the final seven minutes.
 The momentum of the match switched in the second half as the Sycamores came out of halftime on the offensive. Indiana State had the first three shots in five minutes, but the Aces had the best chance in the 54th minute. Senior forward Hailey Autenrieb (Cincinnati / Seton HS) crossed to Hamner at the top of the offensive third and forced a diving save left from the Sycamores goalkeeper. UE’s next shot didn’t come until 17 minutes later as junior forward Crysta Vasquez (Las Vegas / Coronado HS) put a chance on goal at the middle of the net.
Only two minutes later Indiana State cut into Evansville’s lead with a goal in the 73rd minute. Spurred by the goal, the Sycamores’ offense pressured the Aces with five shots in under two minutes. UE countered with its final shot on goal in the 79th minute as Autenrieb had the ball at the eight, shooting toward the middle of the net.
Evansville kept the ball in the offensive zone for the next five minutes as Rosborough got a second opportunity in the 82nd minute. Her shot from out in the offensive third went high and to the right as the Aces shifted back to defense to try and win their first game since August. But Indiana State found the equalizer in the 87th minute as UE picked up its seventh tie of 2024.
Autenrieb, Hamner, and Rosborough all had two shots each to lead Evansville on offensive opportunities while five separate players registered a shot on goal. Fifth-year goalkeeper Myia Danke (Laingsburg, Mich. / Laingsburg HS) made six saves in the draw while the Aces also had a team save. UE will play its final game of the regular season on Sunday, October 27th against Southern Illinois at home. Kick-off from Arad McCutchan Stadium is set for 12 p.m. next week.

Bea’s late equalizer earns USI road point at SIUE

0

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer fought through adversity late in Sunday’s match at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville before scoring an equalizer with a couple of minutes remaining to earn a 1-1 draw and an Ohio Valley Conference point on the road.

Southern Indiana (4-8-5, 3-2-3 OVC) once again found itself in a competitive, defensive battle against SIUE (2-7-6, 1-3-4) on Sunday. The two sides had played to scoreless draws in the previous two meetings in the last two seasons.

USI had an early look at goal with a free kick in the sixth minute, but SIUE’s goalkeeper saved the ensuing kick by junior defender Brynn Quick. USI redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Anna Markland also collected a pair of saves in the first 20 minutes. However, SIUE scored in the 24th minute off a corner kick to take a 1-0 advantage. It was the first goal scored in the head-to-head series since 2007.

USI and SIUE exchanged possession down the stretch of the opening 45 minutes, but the score remained 1-0 SIUE into halftime.

In the second half, the Screaming Eagles continued to make trips into the attacking third, but optimal shot attempts toward goal came at a premium against a tough defensive unit from SIUE. USI’s defense was also strong, clearing multiple corner kicks and keeping the Cougars out of the net.

Southern Indiana ran into some adversity near the 73rd minute when a double-yellow red card dropped USI down to 10 players on the field. Despite trailing 1-0 and down a player in the contest, the Eagles continued to fight into the final minutes.

After thwarting a couple of SIUE attacks late, USI mustered a late push of its own. Seconds after a saved shot on goal by junior midfielder Peyton Murphy, Southern Indiana scored a short-handed equalizer to tie the match, 1-1, in the 88th minute. A long cross from near the sideline by junior midfielder Emerson Grafton was missed by SIUE’s defense and goalkeeper, allowing sophomore defender Kamryn Bea to step up and put away the loose ball for the game-tying goal and her first career goal. The assist by Grafton tied a team-best five helpers on the season.

The Eagles’ defense halted two more attacks from the Cougars in the final two minutes to close out the draw.

For the game, Southern Indiana totaled six shots with three on goal. Markland finished with six saves in net.  SIUE took 16 shots and seven on target Sunday.

Following a pair of wins earlier this past week and Sunday’s tie, USI had already locked up its third consecutive berth in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament. With one regular-season match to go and through Sunday’s results, USI sits fifth in the conference standings with 12 points. Southern Indiana could potentially finish as high as third.

The Screaming Eagles conclude the regular season at Strassweg Field next Sunday at 1 p.m. for Senior Day against Western Illinois University. Match coverage links can be found at usiscreamingeagles.com.
