Abstract

Objective: Intravenous errors are one of the most frequent and common medical errors, but no direct causes are found. The theory of human error is the most common expression of errors in hospitals, and this can endanger the lives of patients. Medication errors remain errors and causes of harm to the patient regardless of whether they occur due to negligence, omissions, or lack of education and experience. This research study aims to identify the errors in the vein and try to find solutions to avoid those errors where the study conducted on a sample of hospitals in Baghdad. Methods: The study was conducted to improve health quality in some hospitals. During the study period, a group of severe cases was detected, which was based on intravenous infusions. Patients' data and information were collected through 5 sources, examined and documented venous errors found, and placed in a standard classification according to an incorrect dose and incorrect medication. The incorrect dose includes the following: overdose, extra dose, under-dose, wrong strength, and wrong form. Results: During the period of study, a total of 99 cases. Among these cases, 52 incorrect medications include (drug-drug interaction, drug-disease interaction, and not indicated medication) the incorrect dose 42 and route of administration and incorrect rate also take place in mistakes. Conclusion: Intravenous errors can cause significant harm to patients and healthcare providers, so proper attention paid to them. Several reasons may cause medication errors such as lack of experience and knowledge of health care providers, inaccurate communications that do not explain the drug, and the exact dose. The prescribing errors in the medication or dosage were collected, discussed and clarified so that the risks arising from them were observed so that health care providers and hospital specialists would be alerted and the study would serve as an alarm for health organizations.
确定静脉给药错误并试图找到解决办法
目的:静脉输液差错是最常见和最常见的医疗差错之一,但没有发现直接原因。人为错误理论是医院中最常见的错误表达,这可能危及患者的生命。无论用药错误是由于疏忽、疏漏还是缺乏教育和经验造成的,都是错误和对患者造成伤害的原因。这项研究的目的是确定静脉错误,并试图找到解决办法,以避免这些错误的研究在巴格达的医院样本进行。方法:为提高部分医院的卫生质量开展研究。在研究期间,以静脉输液为基础,检出一组重症病例。通过5个来源收集患者数据和信息,检查并记录发现的静脉错误,并根据错误剂量和错误用药进行标准分类。错误的剂量包括:过量、过量、剂量不足、剂量错误和剂型错误。结果:研究期间共99例。其中52例错误用药包括(药物-药物相互作用、药物-疾病相互作用、非指征用药)错误剂量42例,错误给药途径和错误发生率42例。结论:静脉差错对患者和医护人员的危害较大,应引起重视。有几个原因可能导致用药错误,如卫生保健提供者缺乏经验和知识,不准确的沟通不能解释药物和确切剂量。收集、讨论和澄清药物或剂量中的处方错误,以便观察由此产生的风险,从而提醒卫生保健提供者和医院专家,并将该研究作为卫生组织的警报。
