| Abstract | Since there is no detailed hospital based incident reporting system, this study was designed to evaluate the medication errors associated with infusion pumps in intensive care unit (ICU). The investigation was conducted in a Teaching hospital in the form of a prospective, observational study. A sample size of 43 doses administered to ICU patients was chosen to enable reliable estimate of error rates. Any deviation in the IV pumps implication from the guidelines and/or doctor’s order in the charts was measured as the main outcome. | en |
