Reutilización de citostáticos en una unidad centralizada de mezclas
2011
Objective: To measure and provide an economic assessment of the preparations returned to a
centralised cytostatic drug preparation unit, analyse reasons for their return, propose measures
for minimising returns and assess their impact on the Medical Oncology division’s outpatient
services.
Methods: This prospective study contained two phases. During the first, we registered all
returns, motives, cases of reuse and costs. In the second phase, we analysed returns at the
Oncology outpatient division after having adopted measures to minimise the returns.
Results: During the first phase, 218 preparations (worth D 51,131) were returned. The Oncology
Day Hospital returned 1% of the preparations worth 1% of the total value; during the second phase, these figures were 0.56% of the preparations and 0.14% of the total
value.
Conclusions: Favouring reporting on and identifying expensive treatments with little stability
and using returned preparations as a quality indicator for Oncology has improved management
of the central cystostatic preparation unit.
