Plan Ahead – Minimizing the Risk of Pediatric Medication Errors Implications for Disaster Medicine William Fales, MD, FACEP Michigan State University Kalamazoo Center for Medical Studies 5th District Medical Response Coalition Kalamazoo County Medical Control Authority S Acknowledgment Funding for the MI PEEDS Study was provided by the: US Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration Bureau of Maternal and Child Health EMS for Children Program Disclosures Nothing to Disclose Kids in Disasters S Fortunately Also, Fortunately Fundamental Disaster Medicine Concepts S Effective response to an MCI involves application of basic and advanced skills and critical clinical decision making with limited resources. S Being able to respond to day-to-day incidents improves (but does not guarantee) your ability to respond to the “big ones”. S Corollary: If you can’t handle the “little ones” effectively, you sure won’t be able to handle the “big ones”. Pediatric Medication Errors S Medication Challenges in EMS (A Tail of 4 Michigan Studies) S Hoyle Study: EMS Med Dosing Errors in Peds S Lammers Study: Root Cause Analysis of Errors in Simulated Peds Emergency S Michigan EMS Information System Peds Seizure Study S RAMPART Study Med Dosing Errors in Peds Treated by EMS S Prehospital Emergency Care S Hoyle, et al S January/March 2012 S Retrospective review of MERMaID Records S Jan 1, 2004 to March 31, 2006 S Correct Dose = +/- 20% of protocol dose Weight vs. Age Age Distribution Incorrect Medication Doses, Overdoses and Underdoses Conclusion Medications delivered to children in the prehospital setting by paramedics were frequently administered at doses outside of the proper range when compared with documented patient weights. EMS systems should develop strategies to reduce pediatric medication dosing errors. MI PEEDS Study S MI Pediatric Excellence and Error Detection with Simulation Study S EMS-C Targeted Issues Grant S Academic Emergency Medicine S Lammers, et al S January 2012 Participating Agencies Mobile Pediatric Simulation Unit Seizing Infant Benzo Dosing (N=45) Drug Drug Administration Administration Drug Administration Administration Drug Diazepam Needle end Plunger direction Needle end Toddler with Anaphylactic Shock S Epinephrine 1:1000 IM/SQ S Correct dose in 15 of 57 cases (26%) S 14 of 57 (25%) gave >10x protocol dose S 9 of 57 (16%) gave IV Epi (4 pushing 1:1000) S 3 of 5 agencies carried 30 mg multi-dose vials (1:1000) S Diphenhydramine IV/IO/IM S Correct dose in 7 of 54 cases (7%) S Solumedrol IV/IO S Only attempted by 3 of 60 crews (5%) S None with correct dose. MI-EMSIS Peds Seizure Study S Retrospective review of Michigan EMS Information System S 2010 Statewide data S 944,415 EMS records (all ages) S 9,168 Under 2 years old (~1%) S 63 received a benzodiazepines (<7%) for seizure Benzo Dosing Midazolam (N=28) Diazepam (N=35) S IV/IO S 2 of 8 (25%) Correct Dose S IV/IO S 2 of 6 (33%) Correct Dose S IM S 3 of 11 (27%) Correct Dose S Rectal S 5 of 13 (38%) Correct S Rectal S 5 (18%) (wrong route) S Active Error Rate=79% Dose S IM (wrong route) S 1 patient S Active Error Rate=65% Summary of Studies S Hoyle Study: 23% to 100% dosing error rate S MI PEEDS Study: 25% to 93% dosing error rate S MI EMSIS Study: 62% to 75% dosing error rate S Studies limited to EMS (high performance EMS) S Do other health professionals do better? Implications in Disaster Medicine S Higher than usual level of emotional stress S Emergency personnel task overloaded S Use of non-emergency personnel for augmentation S e.g., Ortho nurse pulled to ED S Need for highly potent meds with significant risks S Analgesics, sedatives, neuromuscular blockers, ACLS meds S Use of alternative, unfamiliar meds S Unknown pediatric patient weights Plan Ahead – Minimizing Risk of Pediatric Medication Errors S People S Practice and Practices S Protocols S Paraphernalia People S Training and Education S Increased use of existing standardized courses (PALS/PEPP) S Increased emphasis on safe med administration S More frequent, brief continuing education sessions S 60 minutes twice a year vs. 4 hours every 2 years S Simulation-based training S High intensity, small group S Does not require high-fidelity simulators Knowledge Assessment Q. “What is the dose of Benadryl for an 8 kg infant who is in anaphylaxis?” A. 1 mg/kg IM or IV Performance-Based Assessment Q. “This simulated infant is in anaphylaxis and has received epinephrine. An IV line is in place. Give another drug.” Performance-Based Assessment Answer: 1. Recall “Benadryl.” 2. Recall or look up the dose: 1 mg/kg IV. 3. Calculate the dose in mgs: 1 mg/kg x 8 kg = 8 mg 4. Find the concentration on the bottle. 5. Convert a weight dose to a volume dose. 8 mg 50 mg/mL = 0.16 mL 6. Draw 0.16 mL out of the vial with a 1 mL syringe. 7. Find the closest port on the IV line. 8. Attach the syringe without contaminating the line. 9. Clamp the line upstream. 10. Deliver the entire volume. Practice and Practices S Practice (Exercising) S Include peds in EMS and hospital exercises S Require simulated med administration S Use wireless ped simulators S Practices S Mandatory buddy-check for all pediatric med administration S Requires culture change S Challenges with single paramedic crews S No fault med error reporting systems S Provide info on near misses/hits >>>> Safety solutions Protocols S Greatly simplify dosing protocols S Avoid non-whole numbers S Broad, simple doses S Epi-Pen vs. Epi-Pen Jr. S Use single doses when appropriate S Glucagon IM for hypoglycemia S Can this be done safely? RAMPART Study Rapid Anticonvulsant Medications Prior to Arrival Trial New England Journal of Medicine Silbergliet, et al Feb 16, 2012 Multi-Center Randomized Trial Including Detroit EMS Compare Midazolam 10 mg IM (13-40 kg 5 mg IM) Lorazepam 4 mg IV (13-40 kg 2 mg IV) RAMPART Findings S Conclusion: For subjects in status epilepticus, intramuscular midazolam is at least as safe and effective as intravenous lorazepam for prehospital seizure cessation.
