Impact of robotic antineoplastic preparation on safety, workflow, and costs.
PURPOSE Antineoplastic preparation presents unique safety concerns and consumes significant pharmacy staff time and costs. Robotic antineoplastic and adjuvant medication compounding may provide incremental safety and efficiency advantages compared with standard pharmacy practices. METHODS We conducted a direct observation trial in an academic medical center pharmacy to compare the effects of ...
متن کاملExposure to antineoplastic drugs outside the hospital environment.
OBJECTIVES The objectives were (i) to identify occupational populations outside hospitals working with antineoplastic drugs, (ii) to determine the size of the populations 'at risk', (iii) to identify major determinants and routes of exposure outside hospitals and (iv) to estimate exposure levels and frequencies relative to levels found in hospitals. METHODS The survey consisted of two phases;...
متن کاملRegional Administration of Antineoplastic Drugs
Regional antineoplastic drug delivery is not a new concept. Following the initial recognition that cytotoxic alkylating agents could cause shrinkage of tumor masses and a reduction in the quantity of malignant ascites in patients with advanced ovarian cancer, investigators in the 1950s instilled the drugs directly into the peritoneal cavity in an effort to treat the malignancy (1). Similarly, i...
متن کاملDetermining Sources of Workplace Contamination with Antineoplastic Drugs and Comparing Conventional IV Drug Preparation with a Closed System
Many procedures involved in the preparation and administration of hazardous drugs put health care workers at risk of exposure to these agents through leakage or accidental spills. The first objective of this study was to determine if the conventional needle/syringe technique has the potential to allow drugs to escape into the environment. The second objective was to evaluate if a closed system,...
متن کاملBiological Monitoring of Healthcare Workers Exposed to Antineoplastic Drugs: Urinary Assessment of Cyclophosphamide and Ifosfamide
Exposure of health care workers to antineoplastic drugs and subsequent adverse health effects is still an open issue. Very little has been studied on the extent of occupational exposure and handling conditions of antineoplastic drugs in Iran. We aimed to determine cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide concentrations in the urine samples of oncology healthcare workers. In addition, we assessed workpla...
