<p>All,<br>
<br>
Please see the attached advisory regarding IV fluid use and anticipated disruption in availability. The department has already taken steps to increase our surplus of fluids. However, I kindly ask for your assistance in utilizing fluids when it is prudent until the disruptions begin to clear. </p>
<p><br>
Thanks,<br>
Ethan </p>
