Join us as Dr. Stephen Eckel is well-known for his work in pharmacy practice and safe handling of hazardous drugs. His recent publication on Closed System Drug Transfer Devices (CSTDs) and their performance according to the NIOSH vapor containment performance protocol is quite significant.
During the webinar, Dr. Eckel will not only discuss his findings but also provide an overview of current standards and guidelines. He will explore potential future strategies for evaluating CSTDs, which could be very insightful for those in the field. Plus, the Q&A session afterward will be a great opportunity to engage directly with him and ask specific questions.
Objectives:
- Overview of professional guidelines and the literature that guide occupational exposure to hazardous drugs (HD)
- Describe recent research findings utilizing the NIOSH vapor containment performance protocol to assess various closed system drug transfer devices (CSTDs)
- Discuss data interpretation to enhance safety, minimize HD exposure risks, and determine the next steps for a comprehensive testing of CSTDs.
