Introduction
and Objectives: There are many application steps in the preparation of
medicines for patient streated in the hospital and there is a high probability
of error occurrence. Severe complications may occur, which may result in permanent
disability or death, although the cost of drug errors is high. Effective and reliable
use of drugs is a multidisciplinary practice that requires mutual communication
and cooperation between patients, nurses, physicians and pharmacists. The high rate
of drug errors has led to the development of many systems to reduce and prevent
this rate. The use of the drug during the drug application, the effect of
reducing drug errors and how the nurses can benefit from this system in the process
of drug application is explained in thelight of the literature is explained.
Results: Pyxis Medstation,
are safe stores located through out the patient care areas. This system allows the
nurses to reduce the workload, to apply the drugs on time, to provide Access to
only one drug in narcotic drugs with one Access drawer feature, and to prevent the
wrong drug intake. These automated systems used in the distribution of dose dose
medicine sand materials, we are confronted.
Conclusion: Pyxis Medstation
is just one of these systems, and it is thought that the use of it in clinical practice
reduces drug error sand contributes to nursing practice. It is recommended to
test and disseminate the results resulting from the use of Pyxis Medstation and
similar systems with evidence-based applications.

İlaç yönetiminde bir sistem: Pyxis otomasyon sisteminin hemşirelerin ilaç uygulamalarına etkisi

Giriş ve
Amaç: Hastanede tedavi gören hastaların ilaçlarının hazırlanmasında çok sayıda
uygulama adımı vardır ve hata oluşma olasılığı fazladır. İlaç hatalarının
maliyeti yüksek olmakla birlikte kalıcı sakatlık veya ölüm ile sonuçlanabilen
ciddi komplikasyonlar gelişebilir. İlaçların etkili ve güvenilir bir şekilde
kullanılması, hasta, hemşire, hekim ve eczacının karşılıklı iletişim ve iş
birliğini gerektiren multidisipliner bir uygulamadır. İlaç hatası oranlarının
yüksek olması beraberinde bu oranı azaltmak ve önlemek için çok sayıda sistem
geliştirilmesine neden olmuştur. Bu derlemede Pyxis Medstation sisteminin; ilaç
uygulama sürecinde kullanımı, ilaç hatalarını azaltmadaki etkisi ve
hemşirelerin ilaç uygulama sürecinde bu sistemden nasıl yararlanabileceği
literatür ışığında incelenerek açıklanmıştır.
Bulgular: Pyxis Medstation,
hasta bakım alanları boyunca bulunan güvenli depolardır. Bu sistem hemşirelerin
iş yükünün azalmasına, ilaçların zamanında uygulanmasına, tek erişimli çekmece
özelliği ile narkotik ilaçlarda sadece bir ilaca erişim sağlamasına, yanlış
ilaç alımını engellemesine olanak sağlar. Birim doz ilaç ve malzeme dağıtımında
kullanılan bu otomatik sistemler, hasta güvenliğini artıran, tasarruf sağlayan
sistemler olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır.
Sonuç: Pyxis Medstation
bu sistemlerden sadece biridir ve klinik uygulamada kullanımının ilaç
hatalarını azalttığı ve hemşirelik uygulamalarına katkı sağladığı
düşünülmektedir. Pyxis Medstation ve benzer sistemlerin kullanımlarından
kaynaklanan sonuçların kanıta dayalı uygulamalarla test edilmesi ve
yaygınlaştırılması önerilmektedir.
