Implementation and exploration of administration of anesthesia and psychotropic drugs by electronic account books / 药学实践杂志

Objective To explore the effect and significance of electronic account books on the management of anesthesia and psychotropic drugs. Methods The data of electronic account books from January 2020 to June 2020 in the inpatient pharmacy of the hospital (observation group), and manual account books from July 2019 to December 2019 (control group) were collected respectively. The data of daily accounting time, monthly settlement accounting time and accounting accuracy between the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results The daily average time for pharmacists to manually accounting was (162.8±22.5) min, and the daily average time for pharmacists to make accounts electronically was (33.2±7.0) min. It took (245.5±7.2) min for manual accounting of monthly settlement and (46.8±2.5) min for electronic accounting of monthly settlement. The accuracy rate of daily counting records, special account books, special register and empty ampoule waste paste recovery records included in electronic accounting is up to 100%. Conclusion The implementation of electronic account books not only significantly improved the work efficiency of pharmacists, but also strengthened drug supervision, formed a comprehensive traceability system, which could ensure the safety of clinical medication, and make the management of narcotic psychotropic drugs more efficient and standardized.

Treatment and pharmaceutical care of one patient with Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia complicated by drug-induced liver injury / 药学实践杂志

Objective To explore the role of clinical pharmacists in rational drug use through the pharmacy care of an elderly pneumonia patient with Chlamydia psittaci infection and drug-induced liver injury. Methods The clinical pharmacists participated in the treatment of one patient with Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia and drug-induced liver injury. Based on the results of second-generation gene sequencing, the characteristics of the pathogen were learned by literature search. The clinical pharmacists monitored the patient’s liver and kidney function, provided a new medication treatment plan to Doctors, and performed patient education during the treatment. Results The initial empirical anti-infective treatment with teicoplanin and imipenem-cilastatin was not effective. After the diagnosis of Chlamydia psittaci and Candida albicans infection, the combination of doxycycline with azithromycin and fluconazole was administered. Drug-induced liver injury was found with this treatment. The clinical pharmacist proposed to switch to doxycycline and clarithromycin with co-administration of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate and polyene phosphatidylcholine to protect the liver. With this new regime, patient's liver function was improved and the infection was under control. Conclusion Individualized pharmaceutical cares provided by clinical pharmacists helped the safe, rational and effective use of medications.
