An increasing number of people with type 1 diabetes mellitus are using insulin pump therapy, also known as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy (CSII). Most patients using pumps are safest remaining on CSII if admitted to hospital, unless incapacitated. This review provides the generalist physician with a framework to guide the management of such patients, although one should always...
BACKGROUND Healthcare professional (HCP) time supporting insulin pump therapy (IPT) has not been documented, yet it is important in planning and allocating resources for effective care. AIM This study aims to determine HCP time spent in IPT patient care to inform resource planning for optimal IPT delivery. METHODS Twenty-four Australian adult IPT-experienced institutions (14 government fund...
OBJECTIVE to assess the efficiency of cleaning/disinfection of surfaces of an Intensive Care Unit. METHOD descriptive-exploratory study with quantitative approach conducted over the course of four weeks. Visual inspection, bioluminescence adenosine triphosphate and microbiological indicators were used to indicate cleanliness/disinfection. Five surfaces (bed rails, bedside tables, infusion pum...
Type I diabetes mellitus, also called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or IDDM, is a significant chronic condition with implications for dental treatment. Advances in management include intensified therapy, highly purified insulins, and insulin pumps. Periodontal tissues are affected by IDDM, with resultant increases in disease in children affected with IDDM.
BACKGROUND Most insulin pumps used for the treatment of diabetes perform subcutaneous insulin injections by pulses. The purpose of this work is to analyze the effects of pulsatile injections of modern insulins on plasma insulin levels compared with a continuous insulin infusion. METHOD We simulate pulsatile implementations of a basal rate profile over a day on a type 1 diabetes mellitus patie...
Case reports indicate that diabetes patients receiving outpatient insulin pump therapy have been allowed to continue treatment during surgical procedures. Although allowed during surgery, there is actually little information in the medical literature on how to manage patients receiving insulin pump therapy during a planned surgical procedure. A multidisciplinary work group reviewed current info...
Bolus insulin calculators (BCs) became available in insulin pumps in 2002 and are being integrated into glucose meters and portable device applets for use with multiple daily injections. A retrospective analysis of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion data from the Actual Pump Practices (APP) study is used in this article to generate formulas for more precise BC settings. A well-designed BC...
The objective of this study was to assess the usability benefits of adding a bedside central control interface that controls all intravenous (IV) infusion pumps compared to the conventional individual control of multiple infusion pumps. Eighteen dedicated ICU nurses volunteered in a between-subjects task-based usability test. A newly developed central control interface was compared to conventio...
Suboptimal glycemic control in individuals with diabetes leads to chronic complications and increases mortality. Therefore, efficient glucose control is essential for the prevention of life threatening complications of the disease. The increasing need of aggressive diabetes treatment has led to the improvement of insulin therapy and its implementation techniques. CSII and MDI regimens are the t...
An incident report received from an intensive care unit involving the administration of a secondary infusion is reprinted, with permission, and includes material from an ISMP Canada Safety Bulletin (ISMP Canada, 2005). The incident highlights a general shortcoming of many infusion pumps: lack of the capability to recognize primary versus secondary infusions. Reliance on practitioner vigilance t...
