[DYSPHAGIA] Blue dye.

[LOKGANTZ@ihc.com (Kathy Gantz)]

Denise and others,
I have trucked down to the pharmacy on occasion and gotten vials of
meth blue without physician's order, but with funny looks from the
staff.  I then resorted to plain old grocery store food coloring and
keep it in my office, bringing up what i need in a one use container to
the floor.  It has worked for me, altho I may have far fewer trach
patients than other facilities.
Hope that helps!
