Abstract:
This thesis is a retrospective study on 300 medical records between January 2003 and
June 2003 in Makassed General Hospital (MGH). The objective of this study is to
determine if tropisetron use at MGH was appropriate, and if not, determine possible
interventions for cost savings. The results showed a significant tropisetron overuse,
which can be prevented by targeted interventions like seminars or pre-printed protocols
for both nurses and medical doctors.
