Evaluation of Intravenous Medication Errors with Smart Infusion Pumps in an Academic Medical Center
While some published research indicates a fairly high frequency of Intravenous (IV) medication errors associated with the use of smart infusion pumps, the generalizability of these results are uncertain. Additionally, the lack of a standardized methodology for measuring these errors is an issue. In this study we iteratively developed a web-based data collection tool to capture IV medication err...
متن کاملIntelligent Intravenous Infusion Pumps to Improve Medication Administration Safety
Intravenous (IV) medications are vital in the management of hospitalized patients. Inpatients frequently receive several IV medications concurrently, and these are commonly delivered with infusion pump systems. In particular, critically ill patients receive potent "high-alert" IV drugs, many with narrow safety margins requiring careful nursing titration. However, while intravenous medications h...
متن کاملDisposable infusion pumps.
PURPOSE The properties, performance, and applications of nonelectric disposable infusion pumps are reviewed. SUMMARY All nonelectric disposable infusion pumps exploit the same physical principle: mechanical restriction within the flow path determines the speed of pressurized fluid. The pressure generated by disposable pumps on fluid is 250-600 mm Hg, compared with 5-1200 mm Hg of pressure for...

متن کاملA controlled trial of smart infusion pumps to improve medication safety in critically ill patients.
OBJECTIVE Intravenous medications are vital during inpatient management. Errors associated with the administration of medications through intravenous infusion pumps to critically ill patients can result in adverse drug events. We sought to assess the impact of smart pumps with integrated decision support software on the incidence and nature of medication errors and adverse drug events. DESIGN...
