Good effort remember to use correct terminology If you have the pump manufacturer's manual you can review the actual name of components such as drip chamber, pumping chamber, roller clamp Never remove the protective covers prior to inserting the administration set spike into the IV bag. All manufacturer's have recommendations for placement of an infusion pump on a pole and head height of the bag really important to mention as this helps avoid upstream occlusion alarms. Also should mention the importance of keeping large volume infusion pumps plugged in. Keep in mind that RN scope of practice does allow for RN's to add medication to the IV Bag as ordered in different care areas

@empowern 9 жыл бұрын

Deborah O'Neill McCarthy Hi Deborah, It is nice to hear from you! That is a great idea to look at the manufacture's manual for the proper names! I can't believe I didn't think of that before. Thanks again! Much Love, - Caroline

Thanks for the introduction on how to use IV pumps. I think I still have some questions. 1. There are so many different diseases and disorders to the human body how are you able to recognize the signs and symptoms to all those diseases. 2. What is a nursing teaching plan? How do you make one? Of all the places to work as a nurse what would be the best place to gain experience. I would want to be in a setting that would let me not just pass meds or do IV's I want to do everything pass meds, start iv's, give shots, insert catheters, do tube feedings, dress wounds, blood transfusions etc. 3. There are so many assessments before you do everything. How do you do an assessment before you pass meds or before you administer a tube feeding?

+Roya Katouzian Hi Roya! I would love to! However, PCA pumps are harder to do this with, you actually need a vial of Morphine or Dilauded to scan (although of course I guess it could be filled with something else). However, due to this, I have not been able to get anyone to let me make a video. Hopefully in the future this will change and more doors will open :) fingers crossed!!

great video...I just want to know the difference between pumps that are displayed sideways (BBraun, Fresinus) vs pumps displayed downward (Alaris). Another thing regarding the pump in the video, What will happen if the main console for some reason malfunctions, will it be impossible to use the pumps and is it space consuming if you have several channels attached to the main console? Thanks,

@empowern 10 жыл бұрын

hilal sinno Hi Hilal! Really nice to hear from you!! Most of the pumps pretty much work the same way. You just have to find out where the buttons are on that particular pump :) If the main console is not working, I don't think it will allow you to use the pump... If everything is not perfect, they pretty much will not work. I hope this helps!! xoxo - Caroline

Large volume infusion pumps = linear peristaltic movement of fluid through the pumping chamber . There are many different features in each device and pump training prior to use is essential as it helps you avoid alarms and should instruct you in troubleshooting of each device. Many manufacturer's have specific instructions on their websites. If you want to understand the individual pumps log into the manufacturer's sites. The BBraun Space pump was designed to avoid nuisance air in line alarms with the horizontal placement of the administration set in the pumping chamber.

@chelseyalvarado11 8 жыл бұрын

If they are on continuous fluid or something of that nature it takes more time out of your busy day to reprime a new tube it osts more money. It doesn't harm the patient because the pump will stop when air goes through the tubing to a certain point.
