2 Outline Is patient safety still an issue? Medication safety Workshop Development Hierarchical Task Analysis Future Directions

3 Is patient safety still an issue? To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System ,000 deaths As many as 98,000 deaths from preventable medical errors Kohn LT, Corrigan J, Donaldson MS, Institute of Medicine (U.S.). Committee on Quality of Health Care in America. To err is human : building a safer health system. Washington, D.C.: National Academy Press; 2000.

4 Is patient safety still an issue? Preventing Medication Errors Change relationship between provider and patient Using information technologies Improved medication labeling Policy: increased funding for medication administration safety research Suggests increased training on medication administration Aspden P, Institute of Medicine (U.S.). Committee on Identifying and Preventing Medication Errors. Preventing medication errors. Washington, DC: National Academies Press; 2007.

5 Patient safety still is an issue A new, evidenced-based estimate of patient harms associated with hospital care Minimum of 200,000 lives harmed Closer to true estimate of 400,000 lives James JT.

17 How Many Rights?

18 Current status Anesthesia med errors 1:236 * Significant part of our practice Heavy reliance on human performance Questionable accuracy High risk, no oversight How are we being educated? * Average attained from studies mentioned on slide 10.

19 Current practice No guidelines from AANA No guidelines from ASA No standard from Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Education Programs 14 U.S. Pharmacopeia Convention (USP)

20 Current practice Little to no previous dilution experience Didactic setting dosage calculations Clinical setting hands on dilutions Unsupervised, distractions Simulation hands on dilutions? Is this sufficient, can we do better?

21 Current practice As a new SRNA

22 SRNA s perspective

23 To clinical

24 At clinical

25 At clinical

26 You want to make these

27 But you have to make these

28 Your world, from this

29 To this

30 So we do this 5mg/ml

31 Learning environment

32 Medication safety workshop We know High risk Little experience Purpose: Decrease medication errors Give hand on experience pre-clinical setting

33 Medication selection Based on high-alert Clinical incident reporting Heparin (1000U/ml vs. 10,000U/ml) Ephedrine (50mg/ml 5mg/ml) Midazolam (10mg/ml 1mg/ml) Cefazolin (reconstitution) Epinephrine (1: mcg/ml 10mcg/ml)

34 Curriculum development: Hierarchical task analysis School of Nursing Anesthesia Origins: early management science 15 Increased efficiency Define training requirements Allows processes to be broken down Develop step by step instructions

35 How detailed do you need to be 16 Such that task is understood able to be performed

36 My attempt too much 1.1. Dilution of epinephrine into a fixed volume Selecting the correct medication vial Verifying correct medication name: epinephrine Verify concentration: 1:1000 or 1mg/ml Note expiration date Verify final dilution concentration Ex: Check chart, discuss with physician, refer to standard dilutions Obtain supplies Syringe 10ml Epinephrine labels Blunt-tip needle Epinephrine vial 1ml of (1mg/ml) Prepare solution Perform calculation to identify amount of epinephrine to place into final diluent volume [(AD/CA) = amount to be removed from vial or syringe] Syringe 1 = Amount Desired / Concentration Available = 100 mcg/(1000 mcg/ml) = 0.1ml of 1mg/ml epinephrine Syringe 2 = Amount Desired / Concentration Available = 10 mcg / (100mcg/ml) = 0.1 ml of 100mcg/ml epinephrine 35 steps Label syringe Syringe 1- Concentration: 100mcg/ml Syringe 2- Concentration: 10mcg/ml Date Initials Dilute medication Dilution 1 (100mcg/ml) Draw 9ml of 0.9% NaCl into 10ml syringe and add 1ml of epinephrine 1mg/ml to make 100cmg/ml of epinephrine Dilution 2 (10mcg/ml) Draw 9ml of 0.9% NaCl into 10ml syringe and add 1ml of epinephrine 100mcg/ml to make 10cmg/ml of epinephrine Store medication or identify port/site of infusion Open roller clamp Verify solution/carrier movement by verifying drops in drip chamber Clean port with EtOH (15sec) scrub the hub Attach ephedrine 10mg/ml to port Verbalize previously determined dose Administer previously determined volume Verbalize dosage administered Remove syringe

37 Faculty example better, I guess

38 Pre-workshop survey Year of practice as an RN Hospital setting: community/university Type of ICU: SICU, MICU Experience with medication dilution Previous medication errors

39 Medication safety presentation Six rights Verifying medication, concentration, expiration From medication cart Before withdrawal from vial After withdrawal

47 Teaching at its best

48 Scenario for closed loop communication School of Nursing Anesthesia Mr. Smith is a 76 yr. old patient with a history of hypertension, diabetes, and CAD. He has no know allergies. He presents to the OR for a femoral-popliteal bypass. He appears anxious and apprehensive. The CRNA suggests the administration of 2.5 mg of midazolam

49 Your psychological pre-op assessment and the administration of midazolam has alleviated Mr. Smith s anxiety regarding the procedure. On the way back to the OR suite, the surgeon calls out please give my regular antibiotic.

50 Following a smooth IV induction, Mr. Smith becomes slightly hypotensive. Despite decreasing your agent, his pressure remains <20% below base line. After your assessment you decide to administer ephedrine

51 Prior to cross clamping of a major arterial vessel, the surgeon states that in a couple of minutes 4,000u of Heparin be administered. You prepare to administer the heparin.

52 The surgeon informs you that there is ongoing oozing and that he will soon be removing the arterial cross clamp. The blood pressure proceeds to drop despite the initiation of a blood transfusion. With the removal of the cross clamp the blood pressure falls precipitously. The anesthesia team decides on administering incremental doses of epinephrine.

53 Results Overall positive feedback

54 Future directions Sound familiar I do it this way Do what I say, not what I do Many ways to skin a cat When you graduate, you ll do it your way

55 Future directions Give up autonomy? 12 Aug 2008
