Y63: Failure in dosage during surgical and medical care
Y63.1: Incorrect dilution of fluid used during infusion
Incorrect dilution of fluid used during infusion is a medical condition that arises due to mistakes in the preparation of a solution that is administered into a patient's bloodstream, usually through an intravenous drip. This can occur if the wrong concentration or amount of fluid, medication, or other substance is mixed. The problem is considered a procedural complication and can lead to varying health consequences depending on the specifics of the error. It could, for example, lead to an unwanted increase or decrease in the dosage of a drug being delivered into the patient's body. Symptoms vary widely based on the nature of the infusion and may be hard to detect promptly, which could complicate overall disease management. This issue emphasizes the critical importance of accurate preparation and administration of infusions in clinical procedures.
