1 Morris Hospital EMS System Medication Administration
2 Drug Dosage Calculations (Cont d) Working with formulas See Med Math Formulas Taught in Class Handout to review formulas used.
3 Drug Dosage Calculations Desired dose (DD) Amount of medication patient is to receive Dose on hand (DH) Amount (physical weight) of medication present in medication container (in grams, milligrams, or micrograms) Volume on hand (V) Amount of fluid in medication container in which medication is dissolved (milliliters)
4 Practice Med Math Formulas
5 Medical Direction Legal Considerations Federal, state, local laws governing purchasing, distribution, dispensing, administering drugs Medication handling diligence, accounting Medical direction, final word
6 Medical Direction (Cont d) Protocols: written & online Written, filed with state board of pharmacy Online, radio, cellular phone If fails, follow written protocols If event with no protocol, must get medical direction before proceeding Differ among EMS systems
7 Principles of Medication Administration Safety considerations & procedures Familiar with drug Require physician order Verify physician s order Concentrate on task Patient properly positioned Assemble, use correct supplies, equipment Handle carefully, avoid dropping, breaking Aseptic technique Carefully calculate drug doses
8 Principles of Medication Administration Safety considerations & procedures Check drug incompatibility Monitor for overdose signs, take corrective measures Document drug given, dose, time, route, patient s response
9 Principles of Medication Administration The six rights of drug administration Right drug Right patient Right dose Right time Right route Right documentation
10 Principles of Medication Administration Medical asepsis Medically clean Source of infections & standard precautions Used for all patients, regardless of diagnosis Gloves when touching patient s blood, body fluid, secretions, excretions, mucous membranes, nonintact skin, soiled materials, equipment Handwashing before/after touching patient, removing gloves Masks, eyewear if exposure to body fluids likely by splashing, spraying N-95 particulate mask for coughs, respiratory illness, history of TB
11 Principles of Medication Administration Medical asepsis Antiseptics vs. disinfectants Disinfection Process of cleaning vehicle, stretcher, equipment Toxic to body tissue Antiseptic Process used to clean skin before needle puncture Sterilization Makes object free of all forms of life using extreme heat/certain chemicals
12 Principles of Medication Administration Medical asepsis Proper drug handling Paramedic drug box maintained in clean, neat, orderly state Checked for current date, replaced Narcotics Daily accounting, locked Care of site Cleansed by aseptic technique Site of injection, outward If iodine, check for allergies Dry before injection Do not touch area with anything, including gloves
13 Prevention of Injuries & Exposures Sharps handling Do not recap needle by hand, dispose in approved container Do not overfill sharps containers No regular trash Retrieve any placed on stretcher Ensure all sharps accounted for before removing patient from ambulance
14 Oral Administration Enteral medication administration Giving oral medications Patient responsive, cooperative with intact gag reflex 6 rights of drug administration Wash hands, wear gloves Verify patient can swallow Take initial vital signs Ask about allergies Do not touch inside caps, cup Tell patient name of drug, why Take vitals after giving Watch for adverse reaction Document
15 Sublingual Administration Enteral medication administration Giving sublingual medications Place under tongue with gloved fingers Not swallowed, spit out, or rinsed Advantages, accessibility, rapid onset Nitroglycerin most common
16 Sublingual Administration When giving nitroglycerin spray, do not shake before use; remove plastic canister cover Hold container upright with index finger on top of grooved button; position close to mouth, without touching Firmly press button to release spray under patient s tongue Release button and ask patient to close mouth and avoid swallowing; replace canister cover
17 Buccal Administration Enteral medication administration Giving buccal medications Placed in pocket between teeth & cheek Glucose for diabetic
18 Rectal Diazepam (Valium) Place child on side, facing you; measure for weight Open package, remove syringe, remove cover, lubricate tip Bend child s upper leg forward so knee is close to chest Expose rectum by separating child s buttocks Insert lubricated syringe tip all the way into rectum Slowly count to 3 while pushing plunger in until it stops Slowly count to 3 before removing plunger Slowly count to 3 while holding child s buttocks together, preventing leakage; monitor child s respiratory rate and depth; be prepared to assist breathing as necessary
19 Metered-Dose Inhalers Giving inhaled medications Metereddose inhalers
20 MDI Medication Administration Prep; patient sitting; assemble inhaler, attach spacer if needed; shake inhaler gently before use Position mouthpiece ~2 finger widths from mouth; if using spacer, patient s lips close around mouthpiece Ask patient to inhale deeply and exhale, then inhale slowly while inhaler is activated, hold breath for 10 seconds, and exhale through pursed lips Observe patient; document procedure
21 Giving inhaled medications Nebulizers Nebulizers
22 Small Volume Nebulizer Prep; patient sitting; assemble small volume nebulizer; attach mouthpiece to large end of T-shaped piece Attach extension tubing to small end of T-shaped piece Unscrew cap Fill base of cup with correct medication; if a bronchodilator, additional liquid (i.e., normal saline) may be added, if ordered
23 Small Volume Nebulizer Attach cap; shake to mix medication and diluent (if used); attach oxygen supply to nebulizer cup, then to oxygen source Attach cup to bottom of T-shaped piece; adjust oxygen rate 6-10 L/min to create fine mist Patient sitting; if able, patient may hold mouthpiece alone, if not, hold it for patient; ask patient to inhale slowly, pause 2-3 seconds, exhale through pursed lips; continue until medication is gone; observe patient; document procedure
24 Skill Practice Nebulizers
25 Injectable medications Equipment Needles, syringes Injectable Medications
26 Withdrawing From An Ampule Prep: medical director s orders, PPE, six rights Check medication clarity; verify drug not expired; check concentration Clear contents from top by holding upright and gently tapping container s top with finger or gently swirl ampule to displace medication from container s top
27 Withdrawing From An Ampule Wrap ampule neck/top Snap off top away from body Replace syringe s sterile needle with filter needle to keep out glass particles Place needle into ampule solution, withdraw dose of medication; if needle is not long enough to reach bottom of ampule, invert to withdraw desired dose; do not touch ampule outer surface/rim; do not inject air in ampule Tap syringe to remove air bubble, push plunger to expel air; replace sterile needle; properly dispose sharps
28 Skill Practice Drawing from Ampule
29 Withdrawing From A Vial Prep: medical director s orders, PPE, six rights; check medication clarity; verify drug not expired; check concentration Remove protective cover on vial s stopper, if present; cleanse rubber stopper with alcohol; let dry Hold vial with thumb/forefinger, insert needle into vial; with needle tip above solution, push syringe plunger to inject air equal to desired dose to prevent vacuum Invert vial/syringe; hold at eye level with needle below level of solution in vial; if syringe does not fill automatically, pull down plunger to desired dose
30 Withdrawing From A Vial Tap syringe to remove air bubble, push plunger to expel air; adjust plunger for desired dose Remove needle from vial; reverify dose; properly dispose sharps
31 Skill Practice Drawing from Vial
32 Techniques of Medication Administration (Cont d) Injection routes A, intramuscular (IM) B, subcutaneous (Sub-Q) C, intradermal (ID) D, intravenous (IV)
33 Subcutaneous Injections Injectable medications Subcutaneous injections Fat, loose connective tissue just under dermis Select site with few sensory nerve endings, away from large blood vessels, major nerves, bony prominences Maximal volume, 2 ml for adults Maximal volume, ml for children
34 Subcutaneous Injection Prep; prepare correct medication dose; select injection site; cleanse site with alcohol wipe using circular motion from center out; allow to dry Gently pinch skin and lift subcutaneous tissue away from muscle Insert needle at 45-degree angle with quick, darting motion Release skin; pull back plunger, check for blood; if blood present, remove needle; if no blood, press plunger, inject medication; withdraw needle; massage area; apply bandage if bleeding; observe patient; properly dispose sharps; document
