[MCOH-EH] Using BCG Live Bladder Irrigations

[Tara Dockery]

Glad to hear more people are doing this, as it is what cured my Dad from his non-invasive tumors in the bladder!
They gave my parents special instructions at the home, as far as bleaching the bathroom area after treatment and upon urination, and avoiding having the grandchildren use the same restroom. I am sure you have education set up for families, and I hope all your patients are as successful as my father!

We use it at our facility.  Our oncology staff use standard chemotherapy precautions (chemo gloves, gown,)  and wear the N95 respirator.

Our facility is going to begin using BCG Live vaccine for treatment of bladder cancer. I can find very limited information regarding how to protect our employees who are administering this medication.  It will be mixed in our pharmacy under a hood however, it will be administered as a bladder irrigation by our nurses. Does anyone have a policy for the administration of this agent and what PPE is required both for mixing and administering since it is a live virus?  Thanks
