Pharmacist, critical care 💯

@nickmmark Agree 100%, this is unacceptable. Usually standardized compounding softwares such as Dose Edge force pharmacists to visually inspect photos of what techs compounded to make sure the right drug was put into a syringe. Can’t imagine how this got mixed up

[Nick Mark MD @nickmmark]

Obviously ready-to-use products are safer and preferable. But there should be procedures to make this kind of error impossible.

Things like standardized compounding workflows, independent verification by a second person, and using technology like barcode scanners are important.

High-risk meds like contracted electrolytes or neuraxial meds should get extra close scrutiny. (And extra labeling!)

MedTwittet Pharmacists back me up here but I really don’t see how this hospital could have made this error if they were following these procedures.

[Nick Mark MD @nickmmark]

Due to a mixup in the Ascension hospital pharmacy, FOUR patients received potassium instead of bupivicaine for epidurals before routine joint surgeries. At least one is now paralyzed.

The worst error I’ve ever heard of. Hard to see how this could happen.

Oh nice, I see.
ICU PHARMACIST!

Wherever there are drugs, the experts must be there, should be there, running the vibe collaboratively. No issues, no plenty chat. Drug experts handle the drugs at every point where there are drugs! The system is too nice on that side. 😉😉

@FreeNortherner There’s always someone working 10x harder than you, regardless of race. Either rise up to it, or get left behind. That’s it.

Alex Pretti, a registered nurse, was killed in a horrifying shooting at the hands of federal law enforcement. We ask all nurses to visit https://t.co/brSe939K7j to send a letter to your members of Congress. Let them know that nurses demand immediate action.

ICUs are absolutely terrible for our patients sleep and we need to do better.

In this episode of @CritCareTime we go DEEP into the physiology of sleep & sleep disruption. Plus we review the pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options.

Ninety nine times out of 100 you can replace the phrase “let’s try push-dose epi” with “we should’ve ordered levo ten minutes ago.”

🧪New study exploring albumin binding in salicylate overdose—very cool work. Albumin ↓ free salicylate in vitro; largest drops required high levels, but simply correcting low albumin was intriguing. Mechanistic, hypothesis-generating. First bench-top study for me! PMID: 41413367
