Mind maps may cut drug errors in Children's ICUs
NCT ID NCT07320196
First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study tests whether smart mind maps—visual tools that combine drawings and keywords—can help nurses in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) safely administer high-alert medications (drugs that can cause serious harm if given incorrectly). The researchers will train 70 nurses and then assess their knowledge and practices before and after using the mind maps. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost approach reduces medication errors and improves patient safety.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple training method to reduce medication errors in children's ICUs.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 70 nurses at one hospital. Results may not apply to other settings, and the tool may not improve real-world safety.
