FDA Recall of Sodium Thiosulfate

Since the FDA has recalled sodium thiosulfate, what are other hospitals doing for extravasation treatment?  Is there another drug we can use instead?

 Sodium thiosulfate is only

 Sodium thiosulfate is only indicated for the extravasation of nitrogen mustard and there is no substitute according to the ONS Chemo Guidelines. How much nitrogen mustard are you giving these days? I would expect that it is very low, if any. Also, I was only aware of one brand of thiosulfate under a recall. Are all brands recalled? Lynn
