“…23 Although clinical pharmacists are not specifically listed, several reports have described and documented the impact of critical care pharmacists within a multidisciplinary ICU team. [24][25][26][27] Evaluations of clinical pharmacists in the ICU setting have demonstrated the potential for improved patient outcomes and cost savings in critically ill patients, including those with VAP. [25][26][27] One of the greatest barriers to implementing a prevention program is gaining administrative support and funding.…”

“…infusion period can be used to increase the T > MIC and lower the peak concentration. 26,27 The infusion period can be extended through either (a) continuous infusion (i.e., administering a loading dose and then a pump to administer the total daily intravenous dose over a 24-hour period), or (b) prolonged infusion (i.e., administering the same dose and dosing interval but increasing the duration of infusion, such as from 30 minutes to 3 hours).…”

Pediatricians are rendering care in an environment that is increasingly complex, which results in multiple opportunities to cause unintended harm. National awareness of patient safety risks has grown in the 10 years since the Institute of Medicine published its report To Err Is Human, and patients and society as a whole continue to challenge health care providers to examine their practices and implement safety solutions. The depth and breadth of harm incurred by the practice of medicine is still being defined as reports continue to uncover a variety of avoidable errors, from those that involve specific high-risk medications to those that are more generalizable, such as patient misidentification. Pediatricians in all venues must have a working knowledge of patient-safety language, advocate for best practices that attend to risks that are unique to children, identify and support a culture of safety, and lead efforts to eliminate avoidable harm in any setting in which medical care is rendered to children.

“…Several publications have detailed the beneficial role of pharmacists in critical care settings. [2][3][4] The American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) Critical Care Practice and Research Network (PRN) described the difficulty of standardizing the training that should be required for a specialty degree/certification in critical care pharmacy practice. 5 Flexibility within pharmacy curriculum design was strongly encouraged to allow for incorporation of critical care topic discussion and learning.…”

Objective. To design, implement, and measure the effectiveness of a critical care elective course for second-year students in a 3-year accelerated doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) program. Design. A critical care elective course was developed that used active-learning techniques, including cooperative learning and group presentations, to deliver content on critical care topics. Group presentations had to include a disease state overview, practice guidelines, and clinical recommendations, and were evaluated by course faculty members and peers. Assessment. Students' mean scores on a 20-question critical-care competency assessment administered before and after the course improved by 11% (p , 0.05). Course evaluations and comments were positive. Conclusion. A critical care elective course resulted in significantly improved competency in critical care and was well-received by students.
