RISKS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION AND USE OF SMART PUMPS IN A PEDIATRIC INTENSIVE CARE UNIT: APPLICATION OF THE FAILURE MODE AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS

Abstract

Carrying out an FMEA made it possible to detect risk points in the use of smart pumps, take action to improve the tool, and adapt it to the PICU. Providing user training and support tools and continuously monitoring results helped to improve the usefulness of the drug library, increased users' compliance with the drug library, and decreased the number of unnecessary alarms.
