Table 1 Clinical scenarios for the SBA
Scenario | Scenario 1: 72-year-old woman attended in A&E for vomiting, diarrhoea and muscle cramps, diagnosed with hypokalaemia | Scenario 2: 80-year-old man admitted for a respiratory infection; body weight 60 kg | Scenario 3: 44-year-old woman admitted for paracentesis of 5 L of ascitic fluid |
|---|---|---|---|
Medication regimen | 500 ml PS + 30 mEq KCl every 12 h, IV (continuous infusion) | Ceftazidime 100 mg / kg / day. Distribute in 3 administration, every 8 h | Human albumin 6 g per litre of ascitic fluid obtained (intermittent infusion). Dilute in 250 ml of physiological serum and administer for 40 min |
Drug presentation | 10 ml ampoule of 2 M KCl | 2 g vial of ceftazidime powder | 50 ml vial of 20% human albumin |
Intervention | Calculate the quantity (ml) of KCl to be added to 500 ml of PS Calculate how many ampoules of KCl are needed Calculate the infusion rate of the medication (ml/h) | Calculate the quantity (g) of ceftazidime to be diluted in 250 ml of PS Calculate how many vials of ceftazidime are needed for each infusion Calculate the infusion rate of the medication (ml/h) | Calculate the quantity (ml) of human albumin to be administered Calculate how many vials of human albumin are needed Calculate the infusion rate (ml/h) |
