This study assessed whether smart pumps prevent medication errors when used in neonatal care for continuous intravenous medications. Researchers were particularly interested in alert fatigue and the rates of overrides for 'soft alerts'. Data indicated a small number of infusions generated a large number of alerts that could contribute to alert fatigue. Authors recommend future research examines how to decrease repeated nonactionable alerts to improve the usefulness of smart pumps.

PubMed is being transformed into a faster, more intuitive search interface. The new PubMed platform provides enhanced sensors for finding citations, improvements in handling plural forms of words and synonym matching, and better British/American mapping. Your friendly Austin Health librarians can assist you with any transition questions you may have, or check PubMed's FAQs. 
The new PubMed and "legacy PubMed" will run in parallel for several months and before the legacy system is retired, links to both are available from the Library website.

Updated MeSH in MEDLINE 
MEDLINE citations in PubMed are currently being updated to reflect new 2020 MeSH (Medical Subject Heading) terms. New MeSH terms include: Vaccine-Preventable Diseases; Vector Borne Diseases; Emotional Regulation, plus food related headings such as Artificially Sweetened Beverages, Edible Insects, Salads and more.
