RESUMO

Objectives: Serious adverse effects, including arrhythmia and cardiac arrest, result from rapid intravenous high concentration of potassium chloride (KCl). We aimed to eliminate prescription of undiluted KCl and encourage dilution of KCl to 400 mEq/L and 40 mEq/L in the intensive care units (ICUs) and general and outpatient departments, respectively. Methods: Before the first intervention, we collected data regarding high-concentration KCl and interviewed representatives of physicians prescribing high-concentration KCl. Based on the guidelines in other countries on safely used concentrations of KCl (400 mEq/L), we negotiated with physicians to dilute KCl below 400 mEq/L. In the first intervention, we made rules based on surveys above. In the second intervention, we revised the rules based on opinions from physicians and pharmacists and investigated the change in the number of prescriptions of KCl concentration in each department. Continuing efforts with the safety manager ensured compliance of the rules by physicians and nurses in all departments. Results: After the first and second interventions, prescriptions for undiluted KCl in ICUs and general wards were eliminated (median=0). Prescriptions for <400 mEq/L KCl increased to 110 (median) after the first intervention and to 137 (median) after the second. In the general ward, 7 months after the first intervention, prescriptions for <400 mEq/L KCl had not increased. Compliance with our rules was high, and more than 72% of physicians and nurses were aware of the rules. Conclusions: The rules for administration of high-dose KCl successfully eliminated prescription of undiluted KCl, which was maintained using two plan-do-study-act cycles. Our intervention process could be useful in countries where prediluted formulations are unavailable or where prescriptions are not matched and undiluted ampules are used.

RESUMO

Antibiotic stewardship (AS) improves patient outcomes and rates of antibiotic susceptibilities. However, the long-term effect of AS programs (ASPs) on mortality is unclear. This study aimed to assess the impact of bedside interventions by an AS team (AST) on clinical and microbiological outcomes. This retrospective study enrolled patients with bloodstream infections (BSI) and long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics (more than 7 days). The main outcomes were 30-day and in-hospital mortality of patients with BSI. The secondary outcomes were the day of therapy (DOT) and susceptibility of antipseudomonal agents. Cases were classified into two groups: the pre-ASP group comprised cases between 2011 and 2013 and the post-ASP group, between 2014 and 2016. The outcomes were then compared between the two groups. Among the patients with all BSI (n = 1187), no significant differences in 30-day mortality were observed between those in the pre-ASP and post-ASP groups. However, in-hospital mortality was significantly lower in the post-ASP group than that in the pre-ASP group (24.8% vs. 18.0%; P = 0.004). Furthermore, the 30-day and in-hospital mortality of resistant gram-negative bacteraemia was significantly lower (20.4% vs.10.5%; P = 0.04 and 28.0% vs.16.1%; P = 0.03). The DOT of broad-spectrum antibiotics decreased except that of tazobactam/piperacillin. The susceptibilities of tazobactam/piperacillin, ceftazidime, cefepime, sulbactam/cefoperazone, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin levofloxacin, imipenem and meropenem were significantly better. Interventions by the AST can improve the clinical and microbiological outcomes, especially resistant gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, this effect of our ASP can continue for a long term.
