To compare the economics of prefilled syringe vs. injection of propofol medium and long chain fat emulsion, and to evaluate the satisfaction of dispensers.
Adopting simulated field test method, five dispensers used prefilled syringe or injection to prepare propofol medium and long chain fat emulsion in the Pharmacy Intravenous Admixture Services. The time saving was compared, and cost minimization analysis was conducted to evaluate the economics. The satisfaction of dispensers was investigated with a questionnaire survey, and the scores from 1 to 5 stand for being very dissatisfied to very satisfied.
Prefilled syringes shortened the time for preparing a single propofol by at least (40.20±5.15) s, P=0.000 1, and reduced the preparation cost in a single operation by at least (12.18±0.74) RMB, P<0.000 1. The score was (1.8±1.64) points higher in using prefilled syringes for the overall satisfaction (P=0.071), (2.0±1.58) points higher for improving the safety of dispensers (P=0.047), (2.2±1.64) points higher for facilitating the preparations (P=0.040), and (1.4±1.52) points higher for avoiding preparation errors (P=0.11).
It significantly reduced costs and shortened the preparation time to prepare propofol medium and long chain fat emulsion prefilled syringes. Dispensers were more satisfied with prefilled syringes.
