Drug Errors

Pediatrics, 1987
To the Editor.— Excellent recommendations to avoid error in drug dosage and administration were made by Koren et al1 and in the "Letters to the Editor" correspondence between him and Dr Lamont.2 However, I believe two statements require further clarification.

Drug errors in intensive care

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 1992
Abstract Errors in prescription, administration, delivery and interaction of drugs are likely in children in intensive care units because of the large number of often unfamiliar medications these children receive. We evaluated prospectively the frequency and consequence of drug errors in a large multidisciplinary intensive care unit.

Errors in Measuring Drug Concentrations

New England Journal of Medicine, 1978
MUCH of the research and practice of clinical pharmacology depends on the measurement of drug concentrations in the serum.1 The error of these measurements can be monitored by assaying samples cont...

A model of error propagation in the presence of an error-enhancing drug

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1995
A mathematical model is considered that describes error propagation in protein synthesis, with emphasis on the role of an error-enhancing drug such as streptomycin. The subject of error propagation has been investigated in a number of works since an original proposal by Orgel in 1963. From experiments, it is known that streptomycin given to a bacterium

Drug reactions and drug errors

2009
Abstract As anaesthetists, we rely on drugs for our professional practice. We use drugs to interfere with the normal physiological controls of our patients to allow them to undergo diagnostic or therapeutic surgical procedures. We need to have an understanding of the nature and extent of adverse reactions to those drugs, not only so that

Reducing drug errors in anaesthesia

BMJ, 2011
Merry and colleagues’ new system to reduce drug errors in anaesthesia had an error rate of 9.1 per 100 administrations.1 This seems high, although the most common errors were in drug recording, such as a discrepancy between recorded and observed total dose. These may not be drug errors. Patients probably received the correct dose, but …

Reducing drug infusion errors using drug error reduction software

In Practice
Infusion devices are commonly used in veterinary practices or referral hospitals. Research shows that 30 per cent of recorded patient safety events are medication errors, and while drug error reduction software (DERS) was developed two decades ago as a means to reduce these errors, it is yet to be adopted in the veterinary profession.
