Drug safety in paediatric anaesthesia

摘要: Life-threatening drug errors are more common in children than adults. This is likely to be because of their variations age and weight, combined with the occasional exposure most anaesthetists paediatric patients. Drug administration anaesthesia mostly undertaken by a single operator thus represents potentially greater risk compared other areas medicine. increased believed offset working only limited number drugs on very frequent repetitive basis. However, high rates continue reported. Paediatric practice requires individual age- weight-specific dose calculations therefore without 'familiar' or 'usual' dose. The aim this narrative systematic review existing recommendations current evidence preventive strategies identify measures enhance safety quality anaesthesia. collates grades such interventions assesses feasibility. Most highly effective available require low costs labour. presented solutions should, therefore, achieve level acceptance contribute significantly care
