A program of preparing respiratory therapy medications in a tamper-proof, disposable, unit dose package was developed and evaluated. Comparisons were made between the old system of dispensing respiratory therapy solutions and the new unit dose system. The evaluation indicated that: (1) personnel costs between the two systems were similar; (2) patient charges increased under the unit dose system by approximately 10 cents per dose; (3) packaging technique and controls improved under the unit dose system; and (4) medication errors were reduced.
