Abstract:
Objective To investigate the impact of different infusion media on the flow rate of infusion pumps.Methods Ten infusion pumps were randomly selected and tested for infusion rates using deionized water,saline solution,glucose solution,and parenteral nutrition solution.The infusion flow rate was set at 30 mL/h,and the testing methodology conformed to the standards for the calibration and quality control of syringe pumps and infusion pumps.Results For infusion set A,the infusion rate was unaffected by the infusion media,remaining within the acceptable quality control standards.For infusion set B,when infused with deionized water,saline solution,and glucose solution,the infusion errors were within the quality control standards.However,when using parenteral nutrition solution as the infusion medium,the infusion error exceeded the acceptable quality control standards.Conclusion Both the infusion set and the infusion medium can affect the flow rate of infusion pumps.It is crucial to calibrate the flow rate according to the specific infusion medium to reduce medical risks associated with infusion pumps during clinical use.
