| Core Tip |
Infusions of critical drugs in infants frequently require low flow rates. We previously observed errors in low flow infusions that were directly proportional to syringe size. Because low flow infusions in clinical practice are essentially always co-infused with a primary carrier fluid, we now use a similar model to test whether carrier fluid improves accuracy and flow continuity of low flow drug from large compared to smaller syringes. We report that despite carrier fluid, larger syringes were associated with less overall drug and fluid volumes delivered, worse flow continuity, and other flow problems in low flow infusions compared to smaller syringe sizes. Carrier fluid should not be used to compensate for errors introduced by syringe size in critical low flow drug infusions. Syringe size should be matched to the rate of infusion. |
