RESUMO

The use of pharmacogenetics to optimize pharmacotherapy is growing rapidly. This study evaluates the feasibility and operability of a collaborative circuit involving hospital and community pharmacists to implement clopidogrel pharmacogenetics in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. We aimed to enroll patients with a clopidogrel prescription from cardiologists at the collaborating hospital. Community pharmacists collected patients' pharmacotherapeutic profiles and saliva samples, which were then sent to the hospital for CYP2C19 genotyping. Hospital pharmacists collated the obtained data with patients' clinical records. Data were analyzed jointly with a cardiologist to assess the suitability of clopidogrel. The provincial pharmacists' association coordinated the project and provided IT and logistic support. The study began in January 2020. However, it was suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At that moment, 120 patients had been assessed, 16 of whom met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in the study. The processing of samples obtained before the pandemic had an average delay of 13.8 ± 5.4 days. A total of 37.5% patients were intermediate metabolizers and 18.8% were ultrarapid metabolizers. No poor metabolizers were detected. Pharmacists rated their experience with a 7.3 ± 2.7 likelihood of recommending that fellow pharmacists participate. The net promoter score among participating pharmacists was +10%. Our results show that the circuit is feasible and operable for further initiatives.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence and appropriateness of antimicrobial use in Spanish hospitals through a pharmacist-led systematic cross-sectional review. METHOD: A nationwide multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted on  10% of the patients admitted to the participating hospitals on one day in April  2021. Hospital participation was voluntary, and the population was randomly  selected. The study sample was made up of patients who, on the day of the  study, received at least one antimicrobial belonging to groups J01, J02, J04,  J05AB, J05AD or J05AH in the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification  System. The pharmacist in charge made a record and carried out an evaluation  of the appropriateness of antimicrobial use following a method  proposed and validated by the Pharmaceutical Care of Patients with Infectious  Diseases Working Group of the Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacy. The  evaluation method considered each of the items comprising antimicrobial  prescriptions. An algorithm was used to assess prescriptions as appropriate,  suboptimal, inappropriate and unevaluableResults: One-hundred three hospitals participated in the study and the treatment of 3,568 patients was reviewed. A total of 1,498 (42.0%) patients received antimicrobial therapy, 424 (28.3%) of them in  combination therapy. The most commonly prescribed antimicrobials were  moxicillin-clavulanic acid (7.2%), ceftriaxone (6.4%), piperacillin-tazobactam  (5.8%), and meropenem 4.0%. As regards appropriateness,  prescriptions were considered appropriate in 34% of cases, suboptimal in 45%,  inappropriate in 19% and unevaluable in 2%. The items that most  influenced the assessment of a prescription as suboptimal were completeness  f medical record entries, choice of agent, duration of treatment and monitoring of efficacy and safety. The item that most influences the  assessment of a prescription as inappropriate was the indication of  ntimicrobial agent. Conclusions: The method used provided information on the prevalence and  appropriateness of the use of antimicrobials, a preliminary step in the design  and implementation of actions aimed at measuring the impact of the use of  ntimicrobials within the antimicrobial stewardship programs.


OBJETIVO: Conocer la prevalencia y el grado de adecuación del uso de  antimicrobianos en los hospitales españoles mediante una revisión sistemática  transversal realizada por farmacéuticos.Método: Estudio multicéntrico, nacional, transversal sobre el 10% de los pacientes ingresados en los hospitales participantes un día del mes de abril  de 2021. La participación de los hospitales fue voluntaria y la selección de la  población aleatoria. De la población se disgregó la muestra de estudio,  constituida por los pacientes que recibían el día del corte al menos un  antimicrobiano perteneciente a los grupos J01, J02, J04, J05AB, J05AD y  J05AH del Sistema de Clasificación Anatómica, Terapéutica y Química. Sobre la  muestra de estudio, el farmacéutico realizó un registro y evaluación de la  adecuación del tratamiento antimicrobiano siguiendo una metódica propuesta y  validada por el Grupo de trabajo de Atención Farmacéutica al Paciente con  nfermedad Infecciosa de la Sociedad Española de Farmacia Hospitalaria. La  metódica de evaluación consideró cada una de las dimensiones que conforman  la prescripción del antimicrobiano e incluyó un algoritmo para calificar la  prescripción global como adecuada, mejorable, inadecuada y no valorable. RESULTADOS: Participaron 103 hospitales y se revisó el tratamiento de 3.568  pacientes, de los que 1.498 (42,0%) recibieron terapia antimicrobiana, 424  (28,3%) en combinación. La prevalencia de los antimicrobianos más frecuentes  fue: amoxicilina-clavulánico 7,2%, ceftriaxona 6,4%, piperacilina- tazobactam 5,8% y meropenem 4,0%. Respecto a la adecuación del  tratamiento la prescripción, fue considerada adecuada en el 34% de los casos,  mejorable en el 45%, inadecuada en el 19% y no valorable en el 2%. Las  dimensiones que más influyeron en la calificación de la prescripción como  mejorable fueron el registro en la historia clínica, la elección del agente, la  duración del tratamiento y la monitorización de la eficacia y seguridad, y como  inadecuada la indicación de antimicrobiano. CONCLUSIONES: La metódica utilizada permite conocer la prevalencia y  adecuación del uso de antimicrobianos, paso previo para diseñar y emprender  acciones de mejora y medir el impacto de su implantación en el marco de los  programas de optimización del uso de antimicrobianos.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Critically ill patients are at increased risk of drug-drug interactions  but their prevalence and clinical relevance remains unclear. The prevalence of  potential drug-drug interactions in an intensive care unit according to  Micromedex Drug-Reax® and Lexi-Interact® databases was studied and the  concordance between the two databases was assessed. In addition, drug-drug  interactions detected in 2013 were compared with those identified in 2018 to  determine updates between these years. METHOD: Between January and June 2013, 152 critical care patients were  prospectively included. Cardiac patients were excluded. Demographic and  clinical data together with the drugs administered on the first calendar day of  intensive care unit admission were recorded. Potential drug-drug interactions  were searched in both Drug-Reax® and Lexi-Interact ® and their prevalence,  level of severity and evidence were compared considering the same sample in  2013 and 2018. RESULTS: In 2013, 1,025 potential drug-drug interactions were identified, corresponding to 438 unique pairs. Lexi-Interact® identified more  interactions (92.8%) than Drug-Reax® (34.0%). The percentage of agreement between databases was 27.4%. The number of interactions  included in both databases increased after the five years but their level of  evidence   decreased. The most common potential drug-drug interactions involved sedatives and analgesics, intentionally prescribed concomitantly. Only two potential drug-drug interactions were classified as contraindicated by both  databases. None of the potential drug-drug interactions identified had a  noticeable clinical impact. Neither did they imply a prescription change. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that the prevalence of potential drugdrug interactions in the intensive care unit is high, although their clinical relevance is generally low. Our data also show a lack of concordance between Drug-Reax® and Lexi-Interact®, as well as their  updates.


OBJETIVO: Los pacientes críticos presentan un mayor riesgo de interacciones farmacológicas, aunque su prevalencia y relevancia clínica siguen  sin estar claras. En el presente estudio se analizó la prevalencia de  interacciones farmacológicas potenciales en una unidad de cuidados intensivos  mediante las bases de datos Micromedex Drug-Reax® y Lexi-Interact® y se  evaluó la concordancia entre ambas bases de datos. También se compararon  las interacciones farmacológicas detectadas en 2013 con las identificadas en  2018 para evaluar las actualizaciones realizadas durante este periodo de  tiempo. Método: Entre enero y junio de 2013 se incluyeron de forma prospectiva 152  pacientes críticos. Los pacientes cardiacos fueron excluidos. Se registraron los  datos demográficos y clínicos junto con los fármacos administrados durante el  primer día de ingreso en la unidad de cuidados intensivos. Las interacciones se  buscaron tanto en Micromedex Drug-Reax® como en Lexi-Interact® y se  comparó su prevalencia, el nivel de severidad y la evidencia considerando la  misma muestra en 2013 y 2018. Resultados: En 2013 se identificaron 1.025 interacciones farmacológicas potenciales, correspondientes a 438 pares únicos. Lexi- Interact® identificó más interacciones (92,8%) que Drug-Reax® (34,0%). El  porcentaje de concordancia entre las dos bases de datos fue del 27,4%. El  número de interacciones incluidas en ambas bases de datos aumentó durante  los cinco años, pero su nivel de evidencia disminuyó. Las interacciones  farmacológicas potenciales más comunes incluyeron sedantes y analgésicos,  rescritos intencionadamente de forma concomitante. Sólo dos interacciones farmacológicas potenciales fueron clasificadas como contraindicadas por ambas  bases de datos. Ninguna de las interacciones identificadas tuvo un impacto clínico notable ni supuso un cambio de prescripción. CONCLUSIONES: ste estudio muestra que la prevalencia de interacciones farmacológicas potenciales en las unidades de cuidados intensivos es alta,  aunque su relevancia clínica es generalmente baja. Nuestros datos también  muestran la falta de concordancia entre Drug-Reax® y Lexi- Interact®, así  como sus actualizaciones.

RESUMO

Introducción: La hipogammaglobulinemia en los primeros meses postrasplante de progenitores hematopoyéticos (TPH) es común en pacientes pediátricos. Durante esta fase se debe administrar tratamiento sustitutivo con inmunoglobulina humana por vía parenteral para la prevención de infecciones. En algunos casos, esta hipogammaglobulinemia persiste en el tiempo, lo que obliga a prolongar el tratamiento cuando el paciente ya no suele ser portador de una vía central, por lo que son candidatos ideales para el tratamiento de reemplazo por vía subcutánea. Existe escasa bibliografía publicada que describa el uso de esta vía en pacientes pediátricos sometidos a TPH; sin embargo, está ampliamente descrita y con muy buenos resultados en el tratamiento de reemplazo en los niños con inmunodeficiencias primarias. Pacientes y métodos: Se realiza un estudio observacional, descriptivo y longitudinal de carácter retrospectivo. Durante los años 2008-2019 se evalúan a todos los pacientes pediátricos sometidos a TPH en nuestro centro que presentan una hipogammaglobulinemia crónica persistente (superior a un año). Se evalúa la fase de tratamiento con inmunoglobulina intravenosa (Privigen®) y los primeros 4 años de tratamiento con inmunoglobulina subcutánea (Hizentra®) mediante un cuestionario. Resultados: Durante los años 2008-2019 se han realizado en nuestro centro 175 trasplantes de precursores hematopoyéticos, de los cuáles 143 (82%) superaron los 3 meses postrasplante. De estos, 3 (2%) pacientes presentaron una hipogammaglobulinemia persistente. Los 3 comparten factores descritos en la bibliografía involucrados en la reconstitución inmune. Mediante el cuestionario se observa que el cambio de gammaglobulina intravenosa a subcutánea ha supuesto una gran mejoría en la calidad de vida de los pacientes. (AU)


Introduction: Hypogammaglobulinemia in the first months after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is common in pediatric patients. During this phase, replacement therapy with human immunoglobulin must be administered parenterally to prevent infections. In some cases, this hypogammaglobulinemia persists over time, which forces further treatment when the patient is usually no longer a carrier of a central line, making them ideal candidates for subcutaneous replacement therapy. There is little published literature describing the use of this method in pediatric patients undergoing HSCT, widely described in replacement treatment in children with primary immunodeficiencies with very good results. Patients and methods: An observational, descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective study is carried out. During the years 2008–2019, we evaluated all pediatric patients undergoing HSCT in our center with persistent chronic hypogammaglobulinemia (for over a year). The treatment phase with intravenous immunoglobulin (Privigen®) and the first four years of treatment with subcutaneous immunoglobulin (Hizentra®) are evaluated using a questionnaire. Results: During the years 2008-2019, 175 patients underwent HSCT, 143 (82%) of whom exceeded three months after transplantation. 3 (2%) of them had persistent hypogammaglobulinemia. All three share factors described in the literature involved in immune reconstitution. After analyzing the questionnaire, it is observed that switching from intravenous to subcutaneous gammaglobulin has involved a great improvement in their quality of life. (AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Hypogammaglobulinemia in the first months after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is common in paediatric patients. During this phase, replacement therapy with human immunoglobulin must be administered parenterally to prevent infections. In some cases, this hypogammaglobulinemia persists over time, which forces further treatment when the patient is usually no longer a carrier of a central line, making them ideal candidates for subcutaneous replacement therapy. There is little published literature describing the use of this method in paediatric patients undergoing HSCT, widely described in replacement treatment in children with primary immunodeficiencies with very good results. PATIENTS AND METHODS: An observational, descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective study is carried out. During the years 2008-2019, we evaluated all paediatric patients undergoing HSCT in our center with persistent chronic hypogammaglobulinemia (for over a year). The treatment phase with intravenous immunoglobulin (Privigen®) and the first four years of treatment with subcutaneous immunoglobulin (Hizentra®) are evaluated using a questionnaire. RESULTS: During the years 2008-2019, 175 patients underwent HSCT, 143 (82%) of whom exceeded three months after transplantation. Three (2%) of them had persistent hypogammaglobulinemia. All three share factors described in the literature involved in immune reconstitution. After analysing the questionnaire, it is observed that switching from intravenous to subcutaneous gammaglobulin has involved a great improvement in their quality of life. CONCLUSIONS: The origin of chronic hypogammaglobulinemia in our patients shows different factors and cannot be attributed to a single cause. Due to the limited number of patients no conclusions can be drawn at the population level. We have been able to observe that replacement treatment with Hizentra 20% has been as effective as the intravenous administration without evidence of an increase in bacterial infections. Furthermore, it has also led to an improvement in quality of life and increased comfort, as the patients themselves have stated.

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: Elaborar un listado de medicamentos altamente tóxicos en la infancia (MAT), comercializados en España, diferenciando aquellos que alcanzan la dosis letal para un niño de 10 Kg con la ingesta de 1-3 unidades. MÉTODO: Se definió MAT como aquellos capaces de producir intoxicaciones graves o letales en niños menores de 8 años. Se consideró toxicidad grave la correspondiente al grado 3 en la clasificación Poisoning Severity Score y la categoría «major effects» en las publicaciones de la American Association of Poison Control Centers. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de los informes anuales de la American Association of Poison Control Centers y de PubMed entre enero 2000 y febrero 2019 (palabras clave: «severe», «fatal», «life-threatening», «poisoning», «child», «pediatric», «toxicological emergency»). Además, se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo de menores de 8 años que consultaron en un servicio de urgencias pediátrico por sospecha de intoxicación farmacológica entre julio 2012 y junio 2018. Se seleccionaron los principios activos responsables comercializados en España y se determinó la dosis letal o la dosis altamente tóxica. Se calculó el número de unidades necesarias para alcanzarla en niños de 10 kg. RESULTADOS: Se identificaron 7 grupos de MAT: analgésicos; psicofármacos y medicamentos neuromusculares; anticatarrales descongestivos-antitusígenos-antihistamínicos-antiasmáticos; medicamentos cardiovasculares; antimicrobianos; preparados tópicos y otros medicamentos. En 29 principios activos, la ingesta de una única unidad podría causar la muerte en un lactante de 10 kg de peso, en 13 podría causarla la ingesta de 2 unidades y en 10 la ingesta de 3 unidades. CONCLUSIÓN: Existen numerosos MAT comercializados en España, algunos de ellos disponibles en presentaciones potencialmente letales con pocas unidades


OBJECTIVE: To prepare a list of highly toxic drugs in infants (HTDs) marketed in Spain, comparing those that reach the lethal dose in a child of 10kg with the ingestion of 1 to 3 units. METHOD: HTDs are defined as those capable of causing severe or lethal poisoning in children less than 8-year-old. Severe poisoning is considered as that corresponding to Grade 3 in the Poisoning Severity Score classification and to the "major effects" category in publications in the American Association of Poison Control Centers. A literature review was carried out on the annual reports of the American Association of Poison Control Centers, as well as in PubMed, between January 2000 and February 2019 (Keywords "severe", "fatal", "life-threatening", "poisoning", "child", "paediatric", "toxicological emergency"). An observational, retrospective study was also conducted on infants less than 8-year-old that were seen in a Paediatric Emergency Department due to suspected drug poisoning between July 2012 and June 2018. The active ingredients responsible marketed in Spain were selected, and the lethal or highly toxic doses were determined. The number of units (pills) necessary to reach this dose in children of 10kg was calculated. RESULTS: A total of 7 HTD groups were identified: analgesics; psychotropics and other medication used in neurological disorders; catarrh decongestants - cough -antihistamine - asthma drugs; cardiovascular drugs; antibiotics, topical preparations, and other drugs. In 29 active ingredients, the ingestion of a single pill could cause death in 10kg infant, in another 13, the ingestion of 2 pills could cause death, as well as the ingestion of 3 pills in 10 cases. CONCLUSION: There are numerous HTDs marketed in Spain, some of which are available in potentially fatal presentations with few pills

RESUMO

Antecedentes y objetivo: Los antídotos pueden tener un papel relevante en el tratamiento de las intoxicaciones y el tiempo hasta su administración puede condicionar la supervivencia del paciente. Pacientes y método: Estudio realizado mediante cuestionario a principios del año 2015 en 70 hospitales de Cataluña que atienden urgencias. La disponibilidad cualitativa para cada antídoto se consideró adecuada cuando estaba presente en al menos el 80% de los hospitales. La disponibilidad cuantitativa se consideró adecuada cuando se disponía de la cantidad recomendada en al menos el 80% de los hospitales del nivel oportuno. Resultados: Para hospitales de menor complejidad, el porcentaje de antídotos con disponibilidad cualitativa y cuantitativa adecuada fue del 66,7 y 42,9%. En hospitales de mayor complejidad, las disponibilidades cualitativas y cuantitativas fueron adecuadas en un 64,5 y 38,7% de los antídotos. No se observaron diferencias significativas entre las diferentes regiones sanitarias, pero hubo una correlación positiva (p<0,05) entre las urgencias atendidas por los hospitales y el porcentaje de disponibilidad cualitativa adecuada. Conclusiones: La disponibilidad de antídotos en los hospitales de Cataluña es en general baja y muestra diferencias en función de la región sanitaria y de la complejidad asistencial de los hospitales (AU)


Background and objective: Antidotes may have a relevant role in acute intoxication management and the time until its administration can influence patient survival. Patients and method: Study conducted by a questionnaire sent in early 2015 to 70 hospitals in Catalonia providing emergency services. Qualitative availability on each antidote was considered adequate when present in at least 80% of hospitals. The quantitative availability was considered adequate when at least 80% of hospitals had the number of units of antidote recommended. Results: Lower complexity hospitals (level A) showed a percentage of adequate qualitative and quantitative availability of 66.7 and 42.9% respectively. In higher complexity hospitals (level B) qualitative and quantitative availability was adequate in 64.5 and 38.7% of the antidotes respectively. Data showed no differences between the different health regions as well as a positive correlation (p<.05) between the number of emergencies attended and the percentage of adequate qualitative availability. Conclusions: The availability of antidotes in Catalonia hospitals is generally low and shows differences across health regions and depending on level of complexity (AU)

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Antidotes may have a relevant role in acute intoxication management and the time until its administration can influence patient survival. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Study conducted by a questionnaire sent in early 2015 to 70 hospitals in Catalonia providing emergency services. Qualitative availability on each antidote was considered adequate when present in at least 80% of hospitals. The quantitative availability was considered adequate when at least 80% of hospitals had the number of units of antidote recommended. RESULTS: Lower complexity hospitals (level A) showed a percentage of adequate qualitative and quantitative availability of 66.7 and 42.9% respectively. In higher complexity hospitals (level B) qualitative and quantitative availability was adequate in 64.5 and 38.7% of the antidotes respectively. Data showed no differences between the different health regions as well as a positive correlation (p<.05) between the number of emergencies attended and the percentage of adequate qualitative availability. CONCLUSIONS: The availability of antidotes in Catalonia hospitals is generally low and shows differences across health regions and depending on level of complexity.

RESUMO

Objective: To design a virtual antidote network between hospitals that could help to locate on-line those hospitals that stocked those antidotes with the highest difficulty in terms of availability, and ensured that the medication was loaned in case of necessity. Methods: The application was developed by four hospital pharmacists and two clinical toxicologists with the support of a Healthcare Informatics Consultant Company. Results: The antidotes network in Catalonia, Spain, was launched in July 2015. It can be accessed through the platform: www.xarxaantidots.org. The application has an open area with overall information about the project and the option to ask toxicological questions of non-urgent nature. The private area is divided into four sections: 1) Antidotes: data of interest about the 15 antidotes included in the network and their recommended stock depending on the complexity of the hospital, 2) Antidote stock management: virtual formulary, 3) Loans: location of antidotes through the on-line map application Google Maps, and virtual loan request, and 4) Documentation: As of June, 2016, 40 public and private hospitals have joined the network, from all four provinces of Catalonia, which have accessed the private area 2102 times, requested two loans of silibinin, one of hydroxocobalamin, three of antiophidic serum and three of botulism antitoxin. Thirteen toxicological consultations have been received. Conclusions: The implementation of this network improves the communication between centers that manage poisoned patients, adapts and standardizes the stock of antidotes in hospitals, speeds up loans if necessary, and improves the quality of care for poisoned patients (AU)


Objetivo: Diseñar una red virtual de antídotos entre hospitales que permitiese localizar, de forma online, en qué hospitales están ubicados los antídotos con mayor dificultad de disponibilidad y facilitase el préstamo de la medicación en caso de necesidad. Método: La aplicación fue desarrollada por cuatro farmacéuticos de hospital, dos toxicólogos clínicos y el soporte de una empresa informática. Resultados: La red de antídotos de Cataluña entró en funcionamiento en julio de 2015. Puede accederse a través de la plataforma: www.xarxaantidots.org. La aplicación consta de una zona abierta con información general del proyecto y la posibilidad de realizar consultas toxicológicas de carácter no urgente. La zona privada se divide en cuatro secciones: 1) Antídotos: datos de interés de los 15 antídotos en red y dotación recomendada en función de la complejidad del hospital, 2) Gestión del stock de antídotos: botiquines virtuales, 3) Préstamos: localización de antídotos mediante el servidor de aplicaciones de mapas en la web, Google Maps, y solicitud de préstamo virtual y 4) Documentación: Hasta junio de 2016 son 40 los hospitales públicos y privados de las cuatro provincias de Cataluña adheridos; se han registrado 2.102 accesos a la zona privada, solicitado dos préstamos de silibinina, uno de hidroxocobalamina, tres de suero antiofídico y tres de suero antibotulínico. Se han recibido 13 consultas toxicológicas. Conclusiones: La puesta en marcha de la red mejora la comunicación entre centros que atienden a pacientes intoxicados, adecua y homogeneiza la dotación de antídotos de los hospitales, agiliza los préstamos en caso necesario y aumenta la calidad de la atención a los pacientes intoxicados (AU)

RESUMO

Objetive: To design a virtual antidote network between hospitals that could help to locate on-line those hospitals that stocked those antidotes with the highest difficulty in terms of availability, and ensured that the medication was loaned in case of necessity. METHODS: The application was developed by four hospital pharmacists and two clinical toxicologists with the support of a Healthcare Informatics Consultant Company. RESULTS: The antidotes network in Catalonia, Spain, was launched in July 2015. It can be accessed through the platform: www.xarxaantidots.org. The application has an open area with overall information about the project and the option to ask toxicological questions of non-urgent nature.

Thirteen toxicological consultations have been received. CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of this network improves the communication between centers that manage poisoned patients, adapts and standardizes the stock of antidotes in hospitals, speeds up loans if necessary, and improves the quality of care for poisoned patients.

RESUMO

La disponibilidad de antídotos en los diferentes ámbitos asistenciales es un tema objeto de controversia. Se formó un grupo de expertos en Farmacia Hospitalaria y Toxicología Clínica, tanto de adultos como de niños. Se procedió a revisar la bibliografía nacional e internacional sobre el tema, con el objetivo de poder ofrecer una recomendación actualizada sobre los antídotos (tipo y cantidad), que deberían estar presentes en los hospitales en función de su nivel de complejidad asistencial, al tiempo que se recordaban las indicaciones toxicológicas habituales y las recomendaciones más consensuadas de posología. La disponibilidad cuantitativa se definió como la cantidad máxima de antídoto necesaria para tratar durante 24 h a un adulto de 70 kg en hospitales comarcales (nivel A), o a tres en el caso de hospitales de alta tecnología y/o de referencia de provincia (nivel B). Como resultado, se propone un listado de 34 antídotos que deberían estar presentes en hospitales de nivel A y de 22 antídotos para el resto de hospitales. Se ofrece también una guía de utilización de los antídotos seleccionados, con las formas de presentación disponibles en España en el año 2015, las principales intoxicaciones en las que pueden estar indicados, la posología más recomendada y algunas observaciones para cada uno de ellos (AU)


The stocking of antidotes in various care settings is a subject of debate. A group of experts in hospital pharmacy and both adult and pediatric clinical toxicology was formed to review the Spanish and international literature on the subject with the aim of updating recommendations about which antidotes to stock and in what amounts in hospitals of different levels of complexity. The experts also considered the usual indications for the use of antidotes and dosing. The amount to have on hand was defined as enough to treat an adult weighing 70 kg for 24 hours (or 3 such adults in an A-level hospital; ie, a highly complex center or the reference hospital for an area). The group also listed 34 antidotes that B-level hospitals should stock and 22 that other types of hospital should stock. The recommendations also provide a guide for using the antidotes in the forms of presentation available in Spain in 2015, a list of their main indications and recommended doses, and specific notes on each (AU)
