Quick intervention with reversal agents can often help minimize the amount of harm to a patient when an adverse drug event (ADE) occurs. However, if the staff members involved do not have sufficient experience with these interventions, or if they are upset by the event, they may not respond appropriately or quickly enough. Consultants who have experience with the medication involved and the appropriate interventions provide a valuable level of support. When staff members can call upon expert consultants who can respond quickly to assist them, the amount of harm to the patient may be significantly reduced.
