“…In the medication process, responsibilities must be shared and decision-making supported by other health areas 34 . The effective insertion of a multidisciplinary urgent/emergency care team in the treatment of envenomation victims could be a measure to reduce the inadequacies pointed out in our data since several studies show that professionals such as pharmacists and nurses can act collaboratively with prescribers [35][36][37] .…”

“…Double-checking is costly and time consuming. Therefore, the results of Douglass et al ’s4 study add to our knowledge in this area finding an increase in the rate of errors detection when using double-checking. The simulation scenario provides a controlled environment, where nurses repeat the same tasks under identical circumstances.…”

“…Douglass et al 4 evaluated the frequency of double-check use by nurses, its effect on medication error detection and explored the qualitative factors associated with the double-check. The study used a randomised, blinded, controlled simulated design that incorporated 43 pairs of emergency department and intensive care unit nurses.…”

“…Neben der vermehrten Schulung über diese Problematik, der Einführung einer farblich, gemäß Medikamentengruppen sortierten Etikettierung und Aufmerksamkeit erregender Beschriftung, wurde durch Einführung eines sogenannten "Double Checks" ebenfalls eine Methode der wechselseitigen Kontrolle von Medikationsfehlern am Patientenbett eingeführt. Medikamentenverwechslungen konnten durch diese Methode suffizient reduziert werden [28]. Trotz zahlreicher Studien in der klinischen Medizin existieren be-züglich Medikationsfehler in der präklinischen Notfallmedizin entsprechend Online-Recherche nur zahlreiche CIRS-Fälle.…”

“…Während Medikamentenverwechslungen nicht beobachtet wurden, waren alle in der Untersuchung festgestellten Fehler durch inkorrekte Dosierungen verursacht: In 4 Fällen erfolgte eine falsche Dosisberechnung von S-Ketamin, mit daraus folgender subtherapeutischer Dosierung, in einem Fall von Adrenalin. Da in Studien auch Dosierungsfehler durch den "Double Check" reduziert werden konnten [28], sofern er sich auf die zu applizierende Dosis erstreckte, scheint es sinnvoll, diesen über das zu applizierende Medikament hinaus ebenfalls für die zu applizierende Dosis durchzuführen.…”
