Design of infusion rate calculator tools for intravenous therapy.
Nurses often lack confidence in carrying out basic infusion rate calculations, particularly those needed to work out drip rates for medical infusion devices. This article describes the design and development of a computer software tool, poster and a pocket card in one trust to help reduce accidental errors when using infusion pumps and gravity infusions.
متن کاملIntravenous Immunoglobulin in Acute Rheumatic Fever
Background—Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) remains the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children worldwide. No therapeutic agent has been shown to alter the clinical outcome of the acute illness. Immunological mechanisms appear to be involved in the pathogenesis of ARF. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), a proven immunomodulator, may benefit cardiac conditions of an autoimmune nature. We ...
متن کاملHeparin Resistance During and Post-Intravenous Nitroglycerin Infusion
Nitroglycerin has been reported to reduce activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) values in patients treated with concurrent heparin and nitroglycerin. However, studies have yielded conflicting results. To determine whether intravenous nitroglycerin alters the anticoagulant effect of heparin, we prospectively evaluated twenty patients admitted for coronary angioplasty by measurin...
متن کاملBlood Plasma Fibrinogen in Rheumatic and Non-Rheumatic conditions.
A striking feature in many forms of rheumatic disease is the high sedimentation rate of the erythrocytes. The rate of fall of erythrocytes in plasma may be expressed as sedimentation rate (S.R.), or as suspension stability (S.S.). The S.R. (Westergren, Linzenmeier) is expressed by a figure indicating the fall of the column of the red cells in a 200 mm. tube, while the S.S. is expressed as the h...
متن کامل[Continuous intravenous glucose infusion tests].
Sixty minutes' intravenous glucose infusion tests were carried out in normal subjects, borderline cases, and diabetics which were diagnosed by 50 g oral glucose tolerance test . Infusion was performed at the rate of 5 mg/kg/min . or 15 mg/kg/min. using 5% or 10% glucose. The difference in the insulin responses among thesegroups was rather marked in the case of 15 mg/kg/min. infusion of 10% gluc...
