- 小児性の治療
- 薬用警戒と医薬品の安全性
背景:
- 直腸用ダイアゼパムのような 発作救助薬の過小投与は ステータス・エピレプシスと 医療利用率の上昇につながる可能性があります
- 小児患者の6%が,入院神経科からの退院時に直腸用ダイアゼパム処方箋を少量投与された.
研究 の 目的:
- 住院神経科から退院した子供の直腸用ダイアゼパムの処方量を減らすために.
- 2023年7月までに低用量3%以下という目標を達成し,維持する.
主な方法:
- 経口用ダイアゼパム,鼻内用ダイアゼパム,鼻内用ミダゾラムの年齢と体重による投与を自動化するために,電子医療記録の注文パネルを導入した.
- 経口用ダイアゼパム処方薬の月間投与量を監視するために,統計的プロセス制御のp-チャートを使用した.
- 追跡されたプロセス (注文パネルの使用) とバランス対策 (配給率,コスト,プロバイダの満足度)
主要な成果:
- 介入後,直腸用ディアゼパムの低用量0%を達成し,6%のベースラインから有意に改善しました.
- 処置は成功裏に普及し,緊急治療室での過量投与は21%から0.6%に,全システムでの過量投与は12%から4%に減少しました.
- 薬の配給率や費用の悪影響は認められず,医療従事者の満足度は高かった.

CNS Depressants: Barbiturates and Benzodiazepines
466
CNS depressants include drugs from the category of barbiturates and benzodiazepines. They are valuable medications for managing anxiety disorders and insomnia. Barbiturates, once used to induce and maintain sleep, have been replaced mainly by benzodiazepines due to barbiturate's toxicity, tolerance, and overdose risks. They interact with GABAA receptors, leading to sedation at low doses and potentially coma and death at higher doses. Phenobarbital, a long-acting barbiturate, possesses...

Sedatives and Hypnotics Drugs: Benzodiazepines
375
Benzodiazepines have both sedative and hypnotic properties. They include compounds such as diazepam (Valium) and alprazolam (Xanax). Structurally, their cores are similar, consisting of the fusion of a benzene ring and a diazepine ring, but they share a common mechanism of action in the central nervous system (CNS).
Benzodiazepines work by enhancing the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. They bind to the GABAA receptor, increasing its affinity for GABA, which opens chloride...

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route
709
The enteral drug administration involves three primary routes: oral, sublingual, and buccal. Oral ingestion is the most prevalent, safe, economical, and convenient method for drug administration. However, it has certain drawbacks, including limited absorption due to the drug's low water solubility or poor membrane permeability, possible emesis from GI mucosa irritation, destruction of drugs by digestive enzymes or low gastric pH, and irregular absorption along with food or other drugs.

Dosage Regimen: Fixed Dose
2.0K
Fixed-dose regimens are a common approach to administer drugs to achieve and maintain desired levels of the drug in the body. In this dosing strategy, a specific amount of medication is given at regular intervals, often multiple times a day, to ensure a consistent drug concentration in the bloodstream.
Fixed-dose regimens can be used for various routes of administration, including intravenous (IV) injections and oral medications. For IV administration, a predetermined amount of the drug is...

Rational Dosage Regimen: Maintenance Dose and Loading Dose
4.4K
A rational dosage regimen considers a drug's pharmacokinetics, including its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination from the body. By understanding these factors, the appropriate dosage can be determined, and the dosing schedule can be designed to achieve and maintain the desired therapeutic effect while minimizing adverse effects.
In most cases, drugs are administered repetitively or infused continuously to maintain a steady-state concentration in the body. At a steady...

Anxiolytic Drugs: Benzodiazepines and Buspirone
1.2K
Benzodiazepines are a class of anxiolytic drugs known for their rapid efficacy and high therapeutic-to-lethal dose ratio, but with a potential risk of drug dependence. These drugs are lipophilic, allowing for rapid absorption after oral administration, eventually reaching the central nervous system (CNS). Once in the CNS, benzodiazepines bind to the allosteric site of the GABAA receptor. This binding enhances the inhibitory effects of the neurotransmitter GABA. By doing so, they prevent...
