needed items in Haiti

From PJ: If you are coming down to Haiti soon, here's a list of items the clinic needs:

XL gloves (like nitrile gloves)
Sharps containers
IV/Admix needles (big bore - like 16 or 18 gauge, and long), also some that are longer than an inch (for getting into ampules)
Syringes bigger than 10ml
PO and IV H2RAs
IV PPIs
Albuterol inhalers
Miralax and Docusate and Senna
Cuppler spikes (to use to draw out of bags with luerlock syringes)
Pediatric nasal cannulas
Packages of non-sterile 4x4s
Small IV bags - 50ml and 100ml of D5W and NS
Hair nets and masks for the OR (at this point we're re-using them, and unless you're actively operating, not using them)
empty IV bags (in 50, 100, 250 ml sizes)... I've got some IV fluids in big (1000-3000 ml) bags and if someone brought empties, we could fill them here...
IV hydralazine
nitroprusside
Another pyrex mortar and pestle
Ora-sweet
gallipot cherry syrup, for suspensions
Kaletra
truvada (needle stick prophy)
Pediatric LTV circuits
Albuterol nebs
14 Fr suction catheters and inline suction
Procrit
Vecuroniun
Propafol
IV benzos (lorazepam, diazepam)
Oral vitamin and iron drops (for kids)
Oral anti-virals (valcyclovir, acyclovir)
Oral nystatin suspension
Glass stir rods
graduated cylander
empty sterile vials for injection
pediatric nasal canulas (all sizes, but especially peds)
Sticky-tabs (for books, like you used in school to mark text books)
IV fluids (lactated ringers, D5NS, D5-1/2NS, 1/2NS, NS, D5W)

(Note: list is copied and pasted from a text from PJ by a non-medical person so if I have mistakenly separated items that should be together, please post a comment with a correction and I'll edit the Note! - Cathi)
