emtwacker710 has a very valid point. Even in the confines of a secure ICU, we never ASSUME anything. Also for infection control, nothing is spiked until it is to be used.
If would also be very easy for someone that knows your habits to taint a bag while you are in the ED and didn't lock your doors. That could be a disgruntled ex-employee or an unbalanced person unhappy with their bill.
For some CCT and especially on Specialty transports such as neonatal, the team will hang their own fluids and meds. Not that we think anyone in the other hospital is incompetent, we just want our own quality control.
thank you for agreeing, and I'm not only saying that someone could taint the bag, its also more sterile to just hang it when you need it, it doesnt take that long especially if you have 2-3 people to a crew..
