Popis: A sixty five year old man was accidentally administered ketamine instead of ketoprofenum because of a similarity in the name of these medications that in the patient caused a temporary loss of consciousness. Mistakes involving medications are among the most common healthcare errors. Confusing drug names are a leading cause of medication errors. Careful checking of anamnestic and heteroanamnestic information and, whenever possible, double self-checking during the work can help to decrease the number of errors.
