Vascular Occlusion Emergency Readiness Checklist

An educational readiness checklist for the foreseeable emergency of a filler practice — to discuss with your medical director, not a clinical protocol.

Educational sample — not medical advice. This is an educational reference, NOT medical advice and NOT a clinical protocol for your practice. Your medical director and trained clinicians must establish, approve, and own your actual emergency and treatment protocols. Do not use this as your clinical protocol.
An original Inside MedSpa template

This is a readiness-and-preparedness checklist for owners — the clinical content of your actual protocol must be authored and owned by your medical director and trained clinicians. Use this to confirm you are PREPARED, not to direct clinical management.

Have it on hand (stocking)

  • Hyaluronidase stocked in genuine occlusion-management quantity (not a token amount) — enough to begin and sustain management, with a known resupply path
  • Supplies to reconstitute and inject promptly
  • Warm compresses and any adjuncts your protocol calls for
  • The kit kept somewhere every injecting room can reach in seconds, not a locked cabinet

Have it written (protocol — authored by your medical director)

  • A written, current vascular-occlusion protocol authored with your medical director
  • Recognition signs your clinicians are trained to identify
  • The clinical response steps, dosing, and reconstitution specifics (from current training — owned by clinicians)
  • A clear escalation and emergency-transfer plan if the situation exceeds on-site management
  • Contact and escalation information accessible at the point of care

Have it rehearsed (capability)

  • Every injector has walked through recognition and the response steps
  • Everyone knows where the kit is without searching
  • Periodic drills / tabletop walkthroughs are scheduled, so the first run-through isn’t a real patient

Have it documented (defensibility)

  • Your preparedness (stocking, protocol, training) is documented
  • Any actual event is documented contemporaneously and accurately — never altered afterward
  • Reporting obligations for relevant events are understood in advance with counsel and your medical director
