Resumen
TAYLOR, J y BLOCKMAN, M. Wrong-route drug administration errors: A review of the literature. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2023, vol.113, n.12, pp.1531-1534. ISSN 2078-5135. http://dx.doi.org/10.7196/samj.2023.v113i12.1043.
Oral drug formulations and enteral feeds may inadvertently be administered intravenously. Intravenous medications may be inadvertently administered intra-arterially. These examples of wrong-route drug administration errors have the potential to cause significant organ dysfunction and even death. This narrative review aims to explore the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying such errors and investigate preventive strategies and potential therapeutic options.
