“…These include using standardized color-coded labels for similar drug classes, implementing barcode-assisted labeling systems to generate medication labels, and using commercially prepared prefilled medication syringes. In a systematic review by Maximous et al [ 17 ], improved labeling led to a reduction of 37% in medication errors. Recent data have questioned the effectiveness of color-coding in preventing medication errors [ 18 ], but research on human factors engineering (HFE) highlights the importance of pattern recognition when performing pressured, high-stress tasks, such as administering high-risk medication in the operating room environment [ 8 ].…”

“…Multimodal interventions, including barcode readers with automatic auditory and visual verification of the drug, prefilled color-coded syringes, and workspace improvements including standardized stocking of anesthesia carts, have the greatest potential to reduce errors [ 25 ]. In combination, these interventions could reduce error rates by 21%-35% per administration and 37%-41% per anesthetic [ 17 ].…”

Perioperative medication has made significant contributions to enhancing patient safety. Nevertheless, administering medication during this period still poses considerable safety concerns, with many errors being detected only after causing significant physiological disturbances. The intricacy of medication administration in the perioperative setting poses specific challenges to patient safety. To address these challenges, implementing potential strategies and interventions is critical. One such strategy is raising awareness and revising educational curricula regarding drug safety in the operating room. Another crucial strategy is recognizing the importance of redundancy and multiple checks in the operating room as a hallmark of medication safety, which is not a common practice. Digital health technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) also offer the potential to improve perioperative medication safety. Computerized physician order entry systems, electronic medication administration records, and barcode medication administration systems have been proven to reduce medication errors and improve patient safety. By implementing these strategies and interventions, health care professionals can enhance the safety of perioperative medication administration and improve patient outcomes.
