Timely and accurate administration of medications are critical during life-threatening emergencies. Due to the vulnerable state that patients are in during these situations, adverse events due to medication errors in these situations tend to be severe and life-threatening.
Code-related errors were 39 times more likely to result in harm than non-code-related in-hospital errors.
Medication errors constituted 43% of reported resuscitation system errors, more than any other category, including defibrillation and airway management errors.
Code-related errors are 51.5 times more likely to result in patient death than other errors in hospitals.
Medication-related errors in all phases of the medication-use process are also more likely to occur in chaotic environments.
Patient harm due to medication errors during life-threatening emergencies may also be difficult to identify, as outcomes are often confounded by the inherently poor prognosis of these patients undergoing conditions such as cardiac arrest.
Exerpt from "10 reasons you should automate crash cart management" by Joseph Constantin in Becker's Hospital Review:
They're audit magnets
Piles of paperwork
Many trays, many flavors
Same look, different drug
Stocking isn't easy
Cross-department coordination
They go missing
They change hands - a lot
They weren't designed by medical professionals
They're inventory eaters
