Errores en la administración de medicamentos intravenosos en pacientes sometidos a anestesia en el quirófano.
Resumen
Los errores en la administración de medicamentos han afectado la práctica anestésica a lo largo del tiempo y se han convertido en una causa importante de morbilidad y mortalidad perioperatoria. Dentro de las distintas especialidades médicas, la anestesiología es quizá la más susceptible de cometer errores en este procedimiento. Lo anterior se debe a que en muchos sitios alrededor del mundo, un solo profesional “anestesiólogo ” ordena, prepara y administra un medicamento en un mismo momento y escenario. Desde hace treinta años, Cooper dio a conocer los primeros reportes de incidentes críticos y un esquema de seguridad perioperatoria; posteriormente, en la década de los Noventa, Chopra realizó un análisis retrospectivo, según el cual los errores de medicación son la cuarta causa más común de discapacidad en un 17% y muerte en un 8%, siendo estos errores prevenibles en un 51% de los casos. Es fundamental para la práctica segura de la anestesia establecer intervenciones para su mejoramiento con programas de prevención, educación, investigación y desarrollo, que permitan romper paradigmas tradicionales, con el ánimo de formular recomendaciones y estandarizar la administración segura de medicamentos en este campo.Descargas
