Abstract
Purpose: We hypothesize that stress ulcer prophylaxis with acid suppressant medications (ASM) is overused and educating house-staff will decrease this.
Methods: Retrospective chart review in two six-month phases. House staff was educated prior to phase II. Rates of SUP were calculated for ICU stay, medicine floor, and at discharge.
Results: There were 625 ICU admissions. Analysis was done on 106 and 118 patients in each phase. SUP use decreased from 62% to 37% in patients with no indications (p value < 0.01).
Conclusion: Education can have a significant impact on the appropriate use of medications. Even after this significant decrease, rates of inappropriate usage could be considered unacceptable.
