title: [Securing the use of thermosensitive drugs].
abstract: The safety of patient care entails complying with the temperature requirements for thermosensitive drugs. Field studies carried out at the CHU de Caen University Hospital have demonstrated that patients and caregivers do not understand the critical aspect of thermosensitive drugs. This observation has led to the development of tools designed to secure the cold chain for thermosensitive drugs and to increase awareness among healthcare professionals.
