Gentamicin is an amino glycoside antibiotic, which is used predominantly in gram-negative infections but also has anti-staphylococcal activity. It is commonly used because of its lack of diffogenicity. There are recognised issues with its dosing of which time is a major factor. A baseline study demonstrated that dosing was only being carried out correctly 30% of the time. This has serious consequences for the treatment of infections. This quality improvement project intervened with the use of a gentamicin calculator, which enabled users to perform three complex mathematical equations simultaneously without error. Post measurement demonstrated that correct dosing had increased to 92%, which was a significant increase.
庆大霉素是一种氨基糖苷类抗生素，主要用于革兰氏阴性菌感染，但也具有抗葡萄球菌活性。因其缺乏致差异性而被广泛使用。其给药存在一些公认的问题，其中时间是一个主要因素。一项基线研究表明，给药仅30%的时间是正确的。这对感染治疗有严重后果。这个质量改进项目通过使用庆大霉素计算器进行干预，该计算器能让使用者同时无误地进行三个复杂数学方程式的运算。测量后显示正确给药率已升至92%，这是一个显著的提高。
