How to get over with medication errors underestimation? Improving indices of medication errors with focus on intravenous medications in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation setting; a direct observation study.

Background: The administration of intravenous (IV) medications is a technically complicated and error-prone process. Especially, in the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) setting where toxic drugs are frequently used and patients are in critical immunocompromised conditions, medication errors (ME) can have catastrophic reactions and devastating outcomes such as death. Studies on ME are challenging due to poor methodological approaches and complicated interpretations.

Procedure-Specific Thromboprophylaxis in Urological Surgeries: A Narrative Review.

Purpose: Postoperative pulmonary embolism is a leading cause of mortality in patients undergoing major urologic surgeries, presenting a complex challenge in balancing the risks of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and perioperative bleeding. This study examines the current evidence on thromboprophylaxis in urological procedures, focusing on procedure-specific considerations.

Methods: Literature on thromboprophylaxis in urological procedures was reviewed during the past decade.
