| Sumario: | Potentially dangerous medication constitute a priority group in the context of patient safety. The use of these medications by pediatric patients at a reference hospital for low-risk maternal and child care was evaluated. This is a cross-sectional observational study. The hospital's standard list of medications contained 21.94% of these medications and 92.9% of the prescriptions evaluated contained at least one of these medications. The most prevalent pharmacological subgroup of these drugs was electrolyte solutions (91.8%). 195 drug interactions were identified, 2.05% involving these drugs. Of these, 75% were classified as level C and 25% as level D. Guidance is given for structuring risk management for the use of these medications by children treated in situations of this level of care risk. |
