Event Description
|
A pediatric patient experienced hyperglycemia when they were infused with "dextrose 3/4%" in an unspecified electrolyte solution due to an operator error by an end user who had incorrectly compounded the solution in the pharmacy.Normal saline was supposed to be used instead of "dextrose 3/4%".There was no defect, damage, or malfunction with the compounding device or any of the components used to compound the solution.As a result the patient who had been on blood glucose monitoring for an unknown indication and was receiving insulin (intravenously), experienced an elevated blood sugar "significantly higher than what it should have been instead of decreasing".The infusion was stopped and the patient was given extra doses of intravenous insulin.The reported issue was resolved.Additional information is not available.
