A Comparison of Error Rates Between Intravenous Push Methods: A Prospective, Multisite, Observational Study

Conclusions
The ready-to-administer group demonstrated a statistically significant lower observed error rate, suggesting that use of this product is associated with fewer observed preparation and administration errors in the clinical setting. Future studies should be completed to determine the potential for patient harm associated with these errors and improve clinical practice because it relates to the safe administration of IV push medications.
