Administración segura de medicamentos intravenosos en pediatría: 5 años de experiencia de una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Pediátricos con bombas de infusión inteligentes

Alarm fatigue in infusion pumps in the pediatric context: integrative review / Fadiga de alarmes em bombas de infusão no contexto pediátrico: revisão integrativa

“…22 2) The absolute and relative limits per drug in the drug library are overly rigid. 18,[22][23][24] These limits are intended to draw the user's attention to the possibility of errors in the dose or infusion rate programmed for the patient.…”

“…Studies highlight that between the months of January and February, June and December there was an increase in triggered alerts, as well as a greater number of substitute personnel, favoring the susceptibility to errors involving medications. 24,25 Devices such as smart pumps need to be designed from the known limitations of human performance. Adherence to usability principles often results in intuitive devices that require little training, make errors difficult, and, if they occur, allow for immediate recognition and recovery.…”

Impact of Implementing Smart Infusion Pumps in an Intensive Care Unit in Mexico: A Pre-Post Cost Analysis Based on Intravenous Solutions Consumption

“…Smart infusion pumps have shown a positive impact on the safety of patients, the reduction of IV medication errors, the creation of safer work environments for nurses, and the optimization of capital returns, quality control, and the continuous improvement of the processes. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Furthermore, the use of smart pump technology has shown to be profitable in the intensive care unit (ICU) because it avoids costs from prevented medication errors and allows for savings on disposables and medications by establishing standardized concentrations and dosing units. 8,9,11,[14][15][16] Currently, Mexico lacks an evidence-based health technology assessment strategy at the national level that could provide a solid foundation for decision making for the introduction and utilization of health technologies at the hospital level.…”
