“…Risk minimization in coadministration of injectable drugs remains important because polymedication is common practice in various patient groups like cancer patients, transplant patients and intensive care patients (neonatal, paediatric, adult). In recent reports, rates of compatibility varied from 9 to 42 % and of incompatibilities from 15 to 68 % [20][21][22][23][24]. Hospital pharmacists should not only answer questions regarding drug-drug compatibilities, but develop together with physicians and nurses incompatibility-reducing infusion schemes to be used in vulnerable patient groups.…”

Contrary to other similar studies, we did not exclude any drugs or infusions (i.e., we collected data of all continuous infusions, including electrolytes, PN, and blood products).…”
