Investigation and Analysis on Drug Manipulation for Pediatric Oral Dosing in Pediatric Hospitals
Objective: To investigate and analyze the current status of drug manipulation for pediatric oral dosing in China
to understand the categories and specifications of the most frequent drug manipulation in clinic
so as to provide suggestions for improving the current status of drug manipulation. Methods: Questionnaire survey was used to collect the medical orders of oral drugs for children from 30 hospitals in China in Dec. 2019
and statistical analysis was performed in terms of drug categories
number of medical orders
specifications of drug manipulation and most urgent needs
etc. Results: Totally 16 categories
282 kinds of drug manipulation for pediatric oral dosing were collected. The most frequently categories of drug manipulation for pediatric oral dosing were anti-infective drugs
digestive system drugs and cardiovascular system drugs. The most frequently drugs of drug manipulation for pediatric oral dosing were spironolactone tablets
potassium chloride tablets and furosemide tablets. The most frequently specifications of drug manipulation for pediatric oral dosing were 1/2
1/4 and 1/5
the specifications of 1/2
1/3
1/4 and 1/5 were most commonly wanted. Spironolactone tablets
furosemide tablets and other 7 kinds of drugs not only had a large workload in drug manipulation
but the minimum drug manipulation specification was less than or equal to 1/20. Conclusion: The widespread phenomenon of drug manipulation for pediatric oral dosing reflects the lack of appropriate drugs for children in China. In order to ensure the safety
effectiveness and accessibility of drugs for children
the work of drug manipulation requires the cooperation of government
