Minimizing medical errors in emergency situations - SCHOTT TOPPAC® infuse
Intravenous medications are a pivotal drug class that is used in many critical hospital treatments, for example, in ICUs or Operation Rooms. In these surroundings, the risk of medical errors, such as giving the wrong drug or the wrong dose, can create a life-threatening situation for the patient. Pre-filled containers, particularly prefilled syringes, are a highly preferred solution by the hospital staff to avoid these errors that could risk the patient’s life.
This Pharmaversity® session will evaluate what makes a high-quality Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC) pre-filled syringe an easy-to-use solution. We will outline the advantages of COC as a material and discuss its compatibility with key hospital devices, such as syringe pumps, needless connectors, and additional innovative solutions like tamper evidence. We will also show how the general trend in compounding to switch to high-quality prefilled containers improves the overall drug shelf life, ease of use for nurses and physicians, and overall patient safety for various medications in this field.
