Factors involved in the occurrence of adverse events in medication administration in emergency units
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-07-22) Pineda Espinoza, María Del Pilar; Troya Gonzales, Ever Luis; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objectives: To systematize the evidence on the factors influencing the presentation of adverse effects in the administration of medications in emergency units. Materials and Methods: This is a systematic review that included 10 scientific articles aimed at establishing the factors that influence the presentation of adverse effects in medication administration in emergency units. These articles were found in the following databases: Lilacs, Scielo, Medline, and Pubmed. All of them were of the following types and study designs: 01 systematic review, 01 cohort, and 08 cross-sectional studies. Results: 80% of the studies attribute the adverse effects to workload, 70% to inadequate pharmacological knowledge, 50% to illegible prescriptions, medication packaging, and working conditions, and 30% to distractions and interruptions. These are the most important factors influencing adverse effects and errors in medication administration in emergency units, with an emphasis on nursing professionals. Conclusions: The critically reviewed scientific articles highlight that the most important factors influencing the presentation of adverse effects in medication administration in emergency units are workload, illegible prescriptions, medication packaging, and working conditions.
