Medication errors in anesthesia are a significant source of patient harm, with pediatric patients at higher risk due to drug dilution requirements.
Medication errors cause patient death or injury. The worst medication errors involve patient-adverse events with an unknown medication error. This leads to wrong factors being incorrectly blamed and to the development of an illogical adverse event preventive protocol. Most medication errors cause no patient harm. There is a higher risk of medication errors occurring in paediatric than in adult anaesthesia as more drugs need to be diluted. 1
