摘要

背景:先前的研究发现,在住院环境中,吸入器浪费严重,这导致了不必要的医疗保健支出。浪费可能涉及自动分配柜(ADC)中的吸入器。目的:评估医院住院患者是否不必要地从ADC中撤出了沙丁胺醇和异丙托溴铵吸入器。方法:这项横断面研究包括来自不列颠哥伦比亚省16个医疗机构的患者。ADC在2021年8月至2022年1月期间进行了报告,以确定从ADC中移除的沙丁胺醇和异丙托溴铵吸入器,另外1118个(4.2%)代表同时为同一患者取出多个吸入器的情况。总体而言,12.5%(3298/26324)的沙丁胺醇和异丙托溴铵吸入器被不必要地停用。在6个月的时间里,这些吸入器的总成本约为31600美元。结论:这项评估显示,吸入器的浪费相当大,导致支出浪费。其他卫生当局应进行类似的分析,以确定其环境中是否存在类似的问题。

Hiding in Plain Sight: Quantifying Salbutamol and Ipratropium Inhaler Wastage in Hospitals.

Background: Previous studies have found significant inhaler wastage in the inpatient setting, which contributes to unnecessary health care expenditures. Wastage may involve inhalers available in automated dispensing cabinets (ADCs).

Objectives: To evaluate whether salbutamol and ipratropium inhalers were unnecessarily withdrawn from ADCs for hospital inpatients.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included patients from 16 health care facilities in British Columbia. ADC reports were run for the period August 2021 to January 2022 to identify salbutamol and ipratropium inhalers removed from ADCs.

Results: Over the study period, 8.3% (2180/26 324) of salbutamol and ipratropium inhalers were withdrawn from ADCs unnecessarily for the same patient encounter within a 2-day timeframe, and another 1118 (4.2%) represented instances when multiple inhalers were withdrawn for the same patient at the same time. Overall, 12.5% (3298/26 324) of all salbutamol and ipratropium inhalers were withdrawn unnecessarily. The total cost of these inhalers was about $31 600 over the 6-month period.

Conclusions: This evaluation revealed considerable wastage of inhalers, leading to wasted expenditures. Other health authorities should conduct similar analyses to determine whether similar problems exist in their settings.
