High-dose methylprednisolone administered after spinal cord injury improves neurologic recovery. Repeated errors in the prescribing and administration of the recommended regimen occurred in a regional trauma center. Standardized dosage tables for high-dose methylprednisolone were developed for prescribers, nurses, and pharmacists. Verification of ordered doses by pharmacists is critical in assuring appropriate use of this regimen. All institutions are urged to develop standard procedures for ordering, preparing, and administering high-dose methylprednisolone for acute spinal cord injury.
脊髓损伤后给予大剂量甲基强的松龙可改善神经功能恢复。在某地区创伤中心，推荐方案的处方和给药过程中反复出现错误。已为开处方者、护士和药剂师制定了大剂量甲基强的松龙的标准化剂量表。药剂师对医嘱剂量进行核实对于确保该方案的合理使用至关重要。敦促所有机构制定急性脊髓损伤大剂量甲基强的松龙的订购、配制和给药标准程序。
