    To help prevent drug errors, it is recommended that drugs should be checked with a second person before administration. We aimed to assess the feasibility of introducing second-person or electronic bar-code confirmation of drugs, administered during anaesthesia, in the National Health Service (NHS) settings. Drug errors during anaesthesia remain a serious cause of iatrogenic harm .The white paper ‘Building a safer NHS for patients’9 recommends that ideally, all drug administration should be checked by two qualified practitioners. Several publications suggest that errors can be reduced through double-checking. A review of strategies for preventing drug errors during anaesthesia concluded that double-checking could have prevented 58% of the errors, which made it the most effective single measure. The need to double-check to prevent drug errors during anaesthesia has been str.. Read More»
