During the twentieth century, critical care medications were administered with much less care than in the current medical settings. Critical care medication errors can have devastating effects on patients.

However, the rising number of deaths from medical and medication errors in the U. S. has made this crisis a significant issue, both in medical and legal arenas.

Christine Dorman, a critical care nurse practitioner, has a doctorate and is a legal nurse consultant who specializes in critical issues. She brings her expertise to our discussion about how medication errors occur and how they can be prevented.

Critical Care Medication Errors

She describes the many safeguards in place to ensure that the right medication is administered to the right patient, by the right route, at the right time, and at the right frequency. The participation of onsite critical care pharmacists further reduces the margin of error.

Nonetheless, errors continue to occur. Christine and Pat discuss a Vanderbilt Hospital case wherein a nurse inadvertently administered a paralytic agent, Vercuronium, with tragic consequences. She also describes some other medicines that should be administered with great care and oversight.

Knowing which drugs require the most attention and supervision helps an LNC in analyzing a critical care medication errors case. In addition, Christine recommends checking dosages, patients’ weights, and the administration of antidotes. The LNC also needs to be or become familiar with the correct dosages and routes of delivery.

Pharmaceutical companies continue to introduce new and diversified medications, a situation that makes their correct prescription and administration challenging for hospital and family medical practices. For you, as an LNC, this is an important area for learning. This podcast will help you learn more.
