(Reuters) -Hurricane Helene's impact on medical device maker Baxter International's North Cove facility could further limit the supply of intravenous fluids, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said on Wednesday.

Maryland healthcare professionals are concerned by the shortage of IV fluid caused by the fallout from Hurricane Helene in the southeast.

The center is reviewing inventory and using its resources in a smart and efficient way along with being very conscientious of what is being used.
