Model-Based Dependability Analysis of Programmable Drug Infusion Pumps
Infusion pumps are commonly used in home/hospital care to inject drugs into a patient at programmable rates over time. However, in practice, a combination of faults including software errors, mechanical failures and human error can lead to catastrophic situations, causing death or serious harm to the patient. Dependability analysis techniques such as failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) can be u...
متن کاملA systematic review of adult admissions to ICUs related to adverse drug events
Adverse drug events (ADE) may lead to hospital admission, and in some cases admission to an ICU is mandatory. We conducted a systematic review dealing with the incidence of ADE requiring ICU admission in adult patients, the reference population being all ICU admissions. Medline, Embase and Web of Science databases were screened from January 1982 to July 2014, using appropriate key words. Only o...

متن کاملAn Ontological Representation of Adverse Drug Events
A standardized, controlled vocabulary allows adverse drug events (ADE) information to be described in an unambiguous way in knowledge bases, which is critical for clinical decision support systems for patient medication safety. In this paper, we describe our preliminary effort on development of an ontological representation pattern for the ADE domain. We discuss clinical implications of the eff...
متن کاملChoosing appropriate theories for understanding hospital reporting of adverse drug events, a theoretical domains framework approach
Adverse drug events (ADEs) may cause serious injuries including death. Spontaneous reporting of ADEs plays a great role in detection and prevention of them, however, underreporting always exists. Although several interventions have been utilized to solve this problem, they are mainly based on experience and the rationale for choosing them has no theoretical base. The vast variety of behavioral ...
