INTRODUCTION Many Canadian hospital pharmacies are experiencing difficulties recruiting personnel to work in supervisory or managerial roles. Among the top barriers to assuming a pharmacy management role are lack of experience in management positions and lack of confidence in one’s own leadership abilities. Management training programs available in Canada are not designed to meet the [...]
The stability of cefazolin, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, and vancomycin were all affected by temperature (with faster degradation at room temperature relative to 4°C) but not diluent, ceftazidime being the only drug with a result that was close to statistical significance for diluent (p = 0.053). Initial concentration significantly affected the degradation of ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, and clindamycin, but [...]
Stability of Ceftriaxone The initial concentration and the percent remaining on each study day for each ceftriaxone solution are reported in Table 4. Analysis of variance revealed differences in percent remaining due to temperature (p < 0.001), study day (p < 0.001), and concentration (p = 0.019), but not diluent (p = 0.16). During storage [...]
