Sterile Basics of Compounding: Intravenous Admixture Compounding, Part 3: Preparation Procedures
1International Journal of Pharmaceutical Compounding. lallen@ijpc.com.
Abstract:
Intravenous admixture compounding is common practice in most hospitals throughout the world, regardless of the country. Compounding intravenous medications medications involves risk as there is a high potential for error due to their complexity in compounding, and working in an aseptic environment itself poses issues for the compounder. Part 1 of this series presented an introduction and an overview of the series; part 2 presented parenteral vehicle considerations and examples; and part 3 discusses preparation procedures as well as discussions on standardization (both formulas and procedures), competency, compliance issues, issues with using commercial product additives, and look-alike drugs.
