The Case A 58 year old man scheduled for aortoiliac artery bypass graft had an epidural catheter placed for postoperative pain management. Surgery proceeded uneventfully under general anesthesia. During the closure of the surgical incision the surgery fellow drew 12 mL of 0.25 bupivacaine a local anesthetic into a 12 mL labeled syringe of which 4 mL was
Background Our previous in vivo study in the rat demonstrates that Shenfu injection a clinically used extract preparation from Chinese herbs attenuates neural and cardiac toxicity induced by intravenous infusion of bupivacaine a local anesthetic. This study was designed to investigate whether bupivacaine could induce a toxic effect in primary cultured mouse spinal cord neuron

and incidence of the following errors in the insulin infu sion process 1 episodes of documented failure to increase insulin infusion rate despite persistent hyper glycemia and 2 number of times the IV infusion was stopped without subcutaneous administration of insulin. Results Overall 66 patients were analyzed 38 in the
Results Five of eight studies used a comparable denominator and these data were pooled to determine a weighted mean incidence of 101 intravenous medication errors per 1000 administrations 95 CI 84 to 121 . Three studies presented prevalence data but these were based on spontaneous reports only therefore it did not support a true estimate. 32.1 95
The Paravertebral infusion will be prescribed on the Acute Pain Management Chart APMC and the main drug chart usually by the anaesthetist inserting the paravertebral catheter. Occasionally the infusion might be prescribed by the Acute Pain Service APS . The infusion rate is not variable. Bupivacaine 0.25 at a rate of 0.1ml/kg/hour max
threatening medication errors in general inpatients involved IV drugs 9. In United Kingdom UK about 56 of errors involved IV drugs 10. In pediatric patients 54 of potential adverse drug events due to medication errors involved IV drugs 11. It was reported that although relatively few medications are administered intravenously in the hospital
Nov 09 2021 50–100 mg 10–20 mL of bupivacaine hydrochloride 0.5 solution with or without epinephrine produces moderate to complete motor blockade. Administer in incremental doses of 3–5 mL. Allow sufficient time between doses to detect toxic manifestations of unintentional intravascular or intrathecal injection.
Calculate desired rate setting for IV infusion pumps given weight drug concentration and desired dose. and Lester’s Rule for IV infusions. Dimensional analysis To convert units Bupivacaine 60 mL of 1/16 contains the same mass of drug as 30 mL of 1/8 .

Toxic reactions to local anaesthetics usually occur as a result of accidental overdosage or inadvertent intravenous i.v. injections. We report such a case the reasons for this occurrence and suggestions for prevention are discussed. A 53 yr old 60 kg ASA I female patient was scheduled for elective total knee replacement.
Jun 01 2008 The thoracotomy wound infusion group received 0.15 bupivacaine infused continuously at 2 mL/h through a catheter embedded in the wound as well as intravenous patient controlled analgesia. The control group had patient controlled analgesia alone with a sham thoracotomy wound infusion of normal saline.
Feb 15 2018 The importance of timely clinical pharmacist review of intravenous infusion medication orders and the implementation of smart infusion pump technology along with well resourced drug library development with emphasis on quality management education and training should be prioritised in order to reduce medication administration errors and to
purposes of IV infusion pumps. Additionally IV pumps help prevent fluid overload by limiting the amount of fluid administered. IV pumps will also alert the transport paramedic to potential problems such as a reduced flow occlusions or a low battery. Finally the IV infusion pump as the name implies provides pressure to the solution.
Feb 06 2019 It was quickly noticed that the nurse had mistakenly grabbed and administered a 100 mL bag of epidural fentaNYL 2 mcg/mL with bupivacaine 0.25 thinking it was penicillin G. Naloxone and an IV bolus of lipid emulsion was administered followed by a lipid emulsion infusion with patient improvement in just a few minutes.
Lidocaine and only lidocaine can also be an effective analgesic when given as a constant rate IV infusion. Bupivacaine possesses significant potential for cardiotoxicity when given intravenously. Ropivacaine is less cardiotoxic but it too should not be administered intravenously.
