摘要:

The history and evolution of parenteral drug compatibility studies and the most important sources of such information are discussed in the context of evaluating the published work. Practitioners today have come to expect a higher level of sophistication in compatibility and stability studies than ever before. Unfortunately, not all published articles have been well done. Readers should evaluate the studies with respect to the following fundamental aspects: (1) a complete description of the materials, test conditions, and methods; (2) use of a stability-indicating assay method; (3) presence of time-zero determinations; (4) presence of replicate assays at adequate and appropriate intervals; (5) conclusions that fit the results.

摘要:

A variety of rules exist to calculate pediatric dosages, the most accurate being body surface area. Because most drugs come in adult strengths, factors such as age, size and metabolism need consideration, as well as delivery systems for I.V. medications administered to children.

摘要:

The efficiency and efficacy of an I.V. team can be demonstrated utilizing a productivity-measurement tool. Documenting the quantity of I.V. services performed, the manhours worked, and the manhours paid provides productivity information to justify the staffing of I.V. teams. Productivity measurements furnish tangible information that can be used to avoid I.V. team reductions or elimination.

摘要:

Each year over 20,000,000 patients in the United States receive medications, fluids and blood products via peripheral venous catheters. Both major and minor complications of these catheters occur at a significant rate. Thus, a large number of patients have iatrogenic complications from these catheters. Using data from a prospective controlled trial comparing complications that occur when I.V. catheters are maintained by an I.V. team versus conventional care, quality of patient care is greatly enhanced. Furthermore, using reasonable hypothetical calculations I.V. teams can be cost effective. I.V. teams should be more widely implemented. Despite the additional direct cost, considerable savings can be achieved in improved patient care, decreased patient morbidity, and decreased liability.

摘要:

I.V. therapy has changed greatly in recent years. A nurse must have extensive knowledge and practical skills to work competently in administering I.V. therapy to patients. Due to limited time and quantity of patient experience, the I.V. therapy education provided for nurses is often limited and inadequate. A study was undertaken to determine the quality of I.V. therapy education of nursing students. A questionnaire was sent to professional nurse programs in Illinois to determine the I.V. therapy subjects taught and the methods used to teach them. In addition, the respondents were asked if they felt their students were adequately prepared to carry out I.V. therapy procedures. A second questionnaire was sent to 118 registered nurses employed during the past 4 years at the author's hospital. This questionnaire asked for the nurse's evaluation of their student I.V. therapy education and of the I.V. therapy programs offered at the hospital.
