Critical analysis of a Clinical Scenario : An ambulance was dispatched to attend a 55 year-old patient with heart failure in the community. While treating this patient, a paramedic mistakenly pushes 4 milligrams of intravenous norepinephrine instead of the intended lookalike vial of 1 milligram of bumetanide (Bumex®). The patient immediately develops a supraventricular tachycardia, becomes hypertensive, and deteriorates into ventricular fibrillation. Resuscitative efforts are unsuccessful; the patient is pronounced dead on arrival at the ED. Identify and outline the errors made by the paramedic in this clinical scenario. Analyse the contributing factors to human and system errors and apply your findings to this case. Explain the actions you would recommend to improve patient safety and prevent a similar error by another paramedic.please read the MARKING GUIDE and follow it exactly.1.
