The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a high-stress environment causing a significant impact on frontline workers, including pharmacists and nurses. In addition to the increased workload, scarcity of resources, and emotional challenges, the frontline health care workers are required to wear additional personal protective equipment that can further limit their range of movement and decrease efficiency. The potential for errors can increase in these types of high-stress situations. One way to reduce the risk of errors is to use manufacturer-prepared, ready-to-administer (RTA) prefilled syringes, when appropriate. The use of RTA prefilled syringes is supported by literature evidence, recommendations, and guidelines from various professional organizations and societies.
新冠疫情大流行导致高压环境，对包括药剂师和护士在内的一线工作人员产生重大影响。除了工作量增加、资源短缺和情绪挑战外，一线医护人员还需要额外穿戴个人防护设备，这可能进一步限制他们的活动范围并降低工作效率。在这种高压力情况下，错误的风险可能会增加。一种降低风险的方法是在适当情况下使用制造商预充制备的即用型（RTA）预填充注射器。各种专业组织和协会的文献证据、建议和指南均支持使用 RTA 预填充注射器。
