Great news about the UK launching a national RSV vaccination programme in September. This will help prevent lots of stressful visits to hospital with babies in respiratory distress 🏥💉 #RSV #Vaccination gov.uk/government/new…
Tranexamic acid is routinely given to reduce bleeding, but there have been several tragic cases of inadvertent intrathecal administration of tranexamic acid instead of local anaesthetic. The vials look similar, so it's vital they are stored separately. obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
The clear 1 ml ampoules with no labels are the worst!
2 DAYS IN A ROW 😡 (don't ask me why the GTN is on the bench) @EzDrugID #Lookalike #nearmiss #drugerror
Thread: Check out @JoshMRobert’s Tweet:
Hey @STERIMAXINC : please make these drugs safer by making these drug labels easily distinguishable! TXA vs. cefazolin vs. bupivacaine ... why are they all pink?! @APSForg @VatsalTrivediMD @patientsafe3 @Ron_George @GLSilvermanMD @jaymcv @robyn_doucet @BryanGlezerson @glbryson
Lignocaine 2% Bupivacaine 0.5% Water for injections All in transparent plastic twist open ampoules with blue writing. Difficult to understand why 0.5% bupivacaine would ever be packaged this way. Potential for fatal mix up.
Team anaesthesia always be vigilant & don't be complacent check your drugs....why oh why.... 😷 @traumagasdoc @WHarropG @startle65
