As healthcare providers across the country continue to confront the national IV fluid shortage following the devastating effects of Hurricane Helene, Mass General Brigham has made the difficult decision to defer some non-emergent, elective procedures requiring certain IV fluids from Sunday, October 13, through at least Wednesday, October 16. While we strive to minimize any impact on patients, these measures will ensure we are able to care for those in immediate need. Due to the unpredictable nature of this situation, we do not know when our supply of IV fluids will improve but we are closely monitoring and will continuously evaluate to ensure we can return to normal operations as soon as possible. We are contacting affected patients and will work to reschedule them as soon as we are able.

On October 16, 1846, Mass General hosted the first successful public demonstration of ether as a surgical anesthetic. This groundbreaking event is commemorated each year as a significant milestone in our hospital’s history. The Ether Dome painting by Warren and Lucia Prosperi depicts the groundbreaking moment when ether was first used as an anesthetic, marking the beginning of pain-free surgery and forever changing the field of medicine. Unveiled in 2000, the painting honors this historic event in the very room where it took place. #EtherDay

Due to a nationwide IV fluid shortage caused by Hurricane Helene, Mass General Brigham regrettably must defer additional scheduled procedures. While we’ve received additional shipments, our current supply is still limited and our projected deliveries of fluids are still insufficient to meet the full demands for care across our system. Thanks to the extraordinary conservation and response efforts of our clinicians and staff, we remain confident in our ability to safely care for all patients who require our immediate care. We will continue to keep you updated as our response continues.
