Porter E, Barcega B, Kim TY. Analysis of medication errors in simulated pediatric resuscitation by residents. West J Emerg Med. 2014;15(4):486-90. doi:10.5811/westjem.2014.2.17922.
This study evaluated medication errors made by emergency medicine trainees participating in a simulated resuscitation of a critically ill child. A medication error was committed in more than one quarter of simulations overall, but the presence of a clinical pharmacist during the resuscitation significantly reduced errors.
