Can the simple act of changing medication packaging save lives? On this week's Anesthesia Patient Safety Podcast, we uncover the alarming truth about the recurrent and devastating error of inadvertent intrathecal tranexamic acid administration. This episode is a continuation of last week's urgent discussion, featuring insights from Elizabeth Rebello and colleagues, who stress system-focused solutions over human-reliant measures to tackle this critical patient safety issue.
We dissect the human factors contributing to these errors, particularly the look-alike nature of tranexamic acid and local anesthetic ampules. Highlighting prevention strategies, the episode underscores the importance of providing tranexamic acid in pre-mixed bags, aligning with recommendations from the 2010 APSF Stoelting Conference. Listen in as we break down the hierarchy of effectiveness for risk reduction strategies by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), ranging from simple reminders to advanced automation and fail-safes, all aimed at enhancing medication safety in the operating room.
