Objective:
To assess the level of expertise of Pharmacy personnel in the manufacturing of total parenteral nutrition.
Material And Methods:
An on-line survey including 17 questions concerning key aspects of TPN manufacturing was designed. Survey monkey software was used to create the survey and to analize its results.
Results:
135 answers were received. 95% of the participant Pharmacy services had written standard manufacturing procedures. 67% answered that phosphate salts should be the first electrolite to be additioned into the total parenteral nutrition and 34% affirmed that validation of the aseptic manufacturing technique was not performed. As far as personnel training was concerned, 19% of respondents had not received any specific training, although 99% considered it would be necessary to receive it.
Conclusions:
The polled personell has an acceptable level of expertise but adequate training courses are still necessary and should be promoted from Pharmacy services.
