Background: Medication handling errors (ME) in long-term antiseizure medication (ASM) compromise patient safety. Training programs to prevent those errors by parents are scarce.
Patients: The intervention concept is designed for parents of children and adolescents aged 0-18 years with at least one long-term ASM.
Background: To investigate the impact of children's inborn error of metabolism (IEMs) on the children's and their parents' lives from the parents' perspective. We focused on disease-related restrictions in various issues of daily life, experienced discrimination, parental family planning, and management of metabolic emergencies.
Methods: We conducted a questionnaire-based survey with 108 parents of 119 children with IEM who attended a metabolic outpatient clinic.
Background: Children treated in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) often receive several drugs together, among them drugs defined as high-alert medications (HAMs). Those drugs carry a high risk of causing patient harm, for example, due to a higher potential for interactions. HAMs should therefore be administered with caution, especially in a PICU.
