PURPOSE: Evaluation of mechanisms used to cope with an i.v. fluid shortage to determine if prescribing habits were changed and if substitution of an i.v. dose of magnesium with an oral dose impacted patient outcomes.
METHODS: A single-center, retrospective analysis of electronic medical record (EMR) alerts and medical records covering 6-month periods before and during an i.v. fluid shortage was conducted. Records of adult medical and surgical inpatients admitted during these periods who had an order for i.v. or oral magnesium were screened for inclusion. The primary outcome of part 1 of the study was the percent acceptance of drug shortage-related EMR alert recommendations associated with i.v. magnesium. The primary outcome of part 2 of the study was the change in serum magnesium concentration (SMC) after an i.v. or oral dose of magnesium was administered.
RESULTS: Of the 7,476 EMR alerts generated during provider ordering of i.v. magnesium products, 4.8% resulted in the provider accepting the recommendation to switch to an oral alternative, 89% resulted in continuation of an i.v. magnesium order, and 6.2% resulted in order cancellation. Among patients who received magnesium doses, SMC values increased by a mean (SD) of 0.135 (0.08) mg/dL per gram of i.v. magnesium sulfate administered (n = 251), compared to an increase of 0.058 (0.08) mg/dL per 400-mg tablet of magnesium oxide administered (n = 42).
CONCLUSION: Acceptance of the EMR alert recommendations was low. Both i.v. magnesium sulfate and oral magnesium oxide are viable options for increasing SMC.
