Standardized Pediatric Drug Formulary
System Collaborative Meeting February 2nd, 2017
SLIDE 13 Drug Errors in the Pediatric Population
- Research has shown that medication errors in children occur in
35% of cases primarily due to pediatric resuscitations being high stress, low frequency and high stakes situations.
- Errors occur due to many factors including the need for rapid
determination of weight, calculations of medications based on the formulation of the drug creates undue stress for prehospital providers.
- Implementation of a standardized formulary can reduce
pediatric medication errors significantly as well as allow the EMS provider to focus on what is important, life saving management.
SLIDE 14 Ensuring Pediatric Drug Safety
- Ensuring the right medication and the right dose
EVERYTIME is the ultimate goal in utilizing a standardized formulary.
- By pre‐calculating all medication dosing in kg and mLs
- n a length based resuscitation tape we can ensure
safe drug delivery in the prehospital setting.
- Current use:
- 1. High risk in low volume emergent situations.
- 2. Multiple drug concentrations/formularies.
- 3. Increased risk of errors.
SLIDE 15 Standardized Drug Formulary
- Allows drugs to be given in exact milliliters
- Eliminates the need for calculations
- Reduces medication errors
- Some changes to our current formulary will be
needed
SLIDE 16 Pros and Cons
- Pros:
- 1. System wide consistency for pediatric drug
administration.
- 2. Reduction in provider stress and medication errors.
- 3. Streamlines new hire training and information
retention.
- 4. Liability reduction.
- Cons:
- 1. Initial cost of new length based tapes.
- 2. Drug shortages may cause significant inconsistencies
with the formulary.
SLIDE 17 Length based tape use
- In order for a standardized formulary to function all EMS
providers must become accustom to using the length based tape every time on any patient less than 15 years old.
- Mila medical based in Carlsbad Ca. produces a product known as
Dose by Growth. This device is a length based tape very similar to the Broselow device but all drug dosages are pre‐calculated using the local jurisdictions formulary and protocols.
