OBJECTIVE:To introduce the development and application of automatic dosing and mixing system of intravenous infusion in PIVAS of our hospital. METHODS :Based on the bar code management system in PIVAS ,combined with automatic mixing equipment ,our hospital developed and designed automatic dosing and mixing system of intravenous infusion which could realize real-time scanning and charging of drugs ,setting parameters of mixed dispensing and automatic dosing and mixed dispensing of intravenous infusion. Compared with manual dispensing model ,work efficiency of 5 staff who dispensed Coenzyme complex for injection and Carbazochrome sodium s ulfonate for injection 300 bags each as well as the amount of drug residues in empty bottle were investigated to evaluate the effects of the system. RESULTS :The system realized automatic mixing of intravenous infusion. In manual dispensing model and automatic dispensing model ,the mixing efficiency of Coenzyme complex for injection were (96.6±10.0)and(195.2±10.7)bag/h(P<0.001);mixing efficiency of Carbazochrome sodium sulfonate for injection were (83.8±12.9)and(118.8±6.7)bag/h(P<0.001). The amount of residual liquid in Coenzyme complex for injection empty bottle were (0.09±0.02)and(0.11±0.01)mL;Carbazochrome sodium sulfonate for injection empty bottle were (0.08± 0.02)and(0.12±0.01)mL,which were all lower than the internal control requirements that injected solvent volume was no more than 5% (0.15 mL). CONCLUSIONS :The automatic dosing and mixing system of intravenous infusion could improve the efficiency of intravenous infusion dispensing and reduce the labor intensity of the staff .

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of guidelines/consensus on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in China and globally. METHODS PubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang data, VIP, and release websites of guidelines/consensus in China and globally were searched to collect guidelines/expert consensus on TDM with anti-TNF-α for IBD patients. The search period was from database establishment to June 2023. After two investigators independently screened the literature and extracted the data, the methodological quality of the included guidelines/consensuses was evaluated using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation Ⅱ. The main recommendations of the included guidelines/consensuses were summarized. RESULTS A total of 9 articles were included, 3 were guidelines and 6 were expert consensus. The standardized percentages of the 9 guidelines/consensus in the 6 dimensions (scope and aims, participants, rigor of formulation, clarity of expression, application, and editorial independence) were 90.43%, 41.98%, 52.55%, 85.49%, 19.00%, and 76.85%, respectively. Eight guidelines/consensus had a recommendation of grade B and one consensus of grade C. The main recommendations involve TDM application scenarios, threshold ranges, strategy adjustments, detection methods, and interpretation of results. Most guidelines/consensus recommend passive TDM for non-responders. It is recommended to set the TDM concentration range according to the expected treatment results and make strategy adjustments in combination with the disease condition and TDM results. Additionally, the same test method is recommended for the same patient. Some guidelines/consensus hold that no differences were noted in the interpretation of results between biosimilar and original drug. CONCLUSIONS The overall quality of the included guidelines/consensus was fair, with relatively consistent recommendation. Clinicians need to understand the characteristics and limitations of TDM with this class of drugs, and interpret and apply results of TDM in combination with specific clinical treatment goals.
