Intravenous Medication Administration Safety with Smart Infusion Pumps in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: An Observational Study

ConclusionWe identified the medication errors, which was unique to NICU populations, but no harm to the patients were identified. Most errors occurred due to a lack of compliance of using smart pump technology; therefore, potential exists to maximize safety related to medication administration practices in the NICU through hospital policy change and increasing adherence to appropriate use of smart pump technology.
