INFORMATION ASSESSMENT FOR THE PREPARATION OF A STABILITY GUIDE FOR INJECTABLE MEDICINES AFTER RECONSTITUTION AND DILUTION IN A MATERNAL-CHILDHOOD HOSPITAL
Abstract
Weaknesses in the administration process mean that the last patient safety barrier, in which errors can be intercepted, has been broken. Therefore, safe and effective strategies must be inserted in the institutions to guarantee the quality of health care by reducing medication errors. The study investigates adequate and standardized information on the stability of drugs for post- dilution parenteral administration to prepare a guide with relevant guidance in this regard. We carried out a search and comparison between the agreed list of drugs used at Seridó’s Hospital and available technical-scientific information from highly reliable sources. (Micromedex®, UpToDate®). A full of 89 drugs were analyzed, and technical information was provided on their parenteral use. From them, 64 (71.91%) can be involved in drug incompatibility if administered in a Y-site device concomitantly. Few studies address this issue, which also gives relevance to the study. Ensuring the provision of technical-scientific and independent information about the drug is the pharmacist’s responsibility, contributing to avoid errors, consequently improving patient safety.
