Introduction of various oral dispensers
BY candy
The other day i read a article about oral syringe from newspaper.It talks about the survey in the use of oral syringes at children's and ASHP-accredited residency hospitals in the United States.
From paper it said, questionnaires were mailed to 131 hospitals; 117 (89.3%25) were returned. Of the responding hospitals, 54.5%25 of children's hospitals and 67.1%25 of residency hospitals used oral syringes. There was no definite preference for a particular brand or type (glass vs. plastic) of syringe. Patients who often required liquid dosage forms, including pediatric and geriatric patients and patients with nasogastric tubes, were most frequently included in oral syringe distribution systems. Twenty-six of the 73 hospitals utilizing oral syringes used them for most unit dose liquids in all drug distribution systems. The remainder reported use for specific medications or circumstances. Expiration dating policies varied from 24 hours to one year to the manufacturer's expiration dating. The survey indicates widespread use of oral syringes and identifies a need for evaluation of medication stability in these devices.
