Webinar

Intravenous (IV) medicines dominate lists of high-alert medications1 and IV medication errors are common2,5. Up to 1 in 10 IV administrations are associated with an error in the UK, and 1 in 10 of these may be harmful3. Do you know how to apply the "5 Rights" of safe medication administration4,6 to maintain patient safety and effective treatment with syringe pumps in critical care patients?

Join our upcoming webinar to explore the important topic of syringe pump compatibility and the application of the "5 Rights".

The webinar will follow a typical adult critical care patient's journey and will cover all relevant key topics to achieve infusion safety through the right choices of devices, drugs, dosing, IV sites, line management, central venous pressure (CVP), the associated risks as well as changeover management; from drug prescription to selecting the most suitable delivery system, to maintaining timely and effective treatment. Differences in practice compared to the paediatric population will also be addressed. The speakers will provide important key takeaways to support you in avoiding infusion errors.
