Objective: To probe into the nasogastric dosing for hospitalized children in intensive care unit of a children’s hospital and analyze the application rationality

so as to provide reference for promoting the rationality and standardization of children’s nasogastric dosing. Methods: General data of 230 discharged children in the hospital information system (HIS) from Jan. to Jun. 2019 were selected. A total of 158 cases with nasogastric dosing were screened

and the cases

dosage forms and rationality of nasogastric dosing were statistically analyzed by descriptive statistics. Results: From Jan. to Jun. 2019

a total of 230 children were discharged from the hospital

of which 158 children were administered via nasogastric dosing

including 57 kinds of drugs and 6

069 cases of nasogastric dosing. The top three most used drugs were vitamins

nutrition and drugs for regulating water

electrolyte and acid-base balance (50.87%)

drugs for nervous system (22.06%) and drugs for digestive system (15.03%)

and drug dosage forms included common tablets

oral liquid

granules and capsules. The varieties of drugs used at the same time were up to 10 kinds. There were 17 children (10.75%) with 7 or more drugs. Conclusion: The phenomenon of irrational drug administration in the hospital requires further enrichment of pharmacy expertise of medical and nursing staff

and clinical pharmacists should take advantages of the disciplines to implement medical intervention before clinical drug administration to ensure the rationality of nasogastric dosing
