Jan 12 2011 This helps to avoid early administration of a dose that was previously administered late resulting in a dosing interval that is too short e.g. if a 9 a.m. dose of a maintenance opioid pain medication is given at 10 a.m. and the 1 p.m. dose is given at 12 p.m. the dosing interval is just 2 hours thus risking over sedation .
Objectives Our aim was to review medication related incidents reported to a hospital voluntary incident reporting system to identify and quantify the magnitude of wrong dose errors. Methods The study was a retrospective review of medication related incidents reported over a 7 year period at a large acute teaching hospital in the UK providing secondary and tertiary care for a
dose calculation drug dilution and incremental push dose administration which are all areas in which errors are common and potentially fatal.23 25 In addition intravenous bolus medications present considerable safety risk in general and are the subject of recently published safe practice guidelines.26 Furthermore
Reduce Adverse Drug Events Involving Electrolytes. Administration of electrolyte replacements must be carefully managed. If dosing is not appropriate serum levels of electrolytes may be outside of normal ranges which can lead to serious adverse events. Extremely low or high serum levels of some electrolytes can even lead to death.
Dec 30 2021 A recently reported secondary analysis of data from the NICHD HPTN 040/PACTG 1043 study demonstrated that the risk of perinatal transmission was not related to the presence of drug resistance mutations in mothers who had not received ARV drugs before the start of the study adjusted odds ratio 0.8 95 confidence interval 0.4–1.5 . 56

Why are certain medications identified as high alert medications High alert medications have the highest risk for causing injury when misused. These medications have narrow therapeutic indexes or small margins of safety that is there is a small difference between a therapeutic dose and a harmful dose.
