AbstractIn a static study, medication errors in intravenous administration were registered in a multidisciplinary intensive care unit. The most frequent type of errors included administration of incorrect doses, but also administration of diluted drugs over an excessive time period, use of previously opened ampoules, administration of unauthorized drugs, wrong infusion rates, dissolution of drugs in incorrect media, dissolution of drugs in incorrect volumes of dissolution media and wrong dosage form errors were observed.
