Ahmed Elsharkawy: Drug-Drug and Drug-Diluent Incompatibilities in ICUs and Hematology Units
Ahmed Elsharkawy, ICU and Oncology Clinical Pharmacist at Children’s Cancer Hospital Foundation 57357, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“One of the major roles of Clinical pharmacist is to check Drug-Drug and Drug-Diluent incompatibilities especially for patients in ICUs and hematology units as they are considered a high-risk group for the occurrence of incompatibilities because they commonly require the use of multiple drugs, most of which are administered intravenously and by continuous infusion.
Potential complications of co-administration of incompatible drugs include:
- Precipitation
- Central venous catheter (CVC) occlusion or malfunction
- Reduced potency of medication
- Embolism and local or systemic inflammatory reactions.”
