Polypharmacy for Geriatric Patients (ALS)

by Rob Wronski | EMS, Medical

Polypharmacy is the use of five or more medications in a single day, and it is generally more prevalent among the vulnerable elderly population. While polypharmacy itself is not the issue, the drugs that make up the medication list are. Some medications do not mix well with others and can lead to unwanted outcomes or make a simple call more serious. Sometimes, you are the only one who sees the dangers of these medication mixtures. Caregivers are overworked or just unaware of the dangers. As a medical provider, seeing the red flags of a polypharmacy issue, it is up to you to speak up and bring attention to a possibly deadly combination of medications.

Reducing Medication Errors (ALS)

by Rob Wronski | EMS, Medical

Over a million patients each year fall victim to medication errors. Almost 10,000 of these incidents result in fatal outcomes. Although there is no centralized database reporting the number of medication errors made by EMS providers, we can still work towards reducing these statistics by being more aware of potential field errors. Changes can be simple and implemented on a daily basis to enhance safer medication dosing.
