MEDICAL EVENT AT DEACONESS HOSPITAL IN INDIANA

A medical event occurred on 3/28/03 at 11:00 CST when a 9 year old patient received an actual dose of 400 microcuries of I-131, for a thyroid scan and uptake, instead of a planned dose of 4 microcuries of I-131. The error occurred when the patient couldn't swallow the capsule and the hospital ordered a liquid form of the radioisotope. The wrong dosage was ordered from the radiopharmacy. The error was not discovered until after the dosage had been administered. The hospital indicated they did not expect any significant adverse health effect. The hospital was performing some more detailed calculations involving this event. A review was initiated to clearly identify the cause and initiate corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
