Core Tip |
This study demonstrates that three single use elastomeric infusion devices have rates that are significantly different from the set nominal delivery volume. These alterations in flow may be clinically significant, resulting in either inadequate analgesia, early exhaustion of the reservoir, excessive muscle weakness or the potential for toxicity, especially when used with pediatric patients. Therefore, in order to provide the best care, physicians must not only take into account the temperature at which the pump will be kept, viscosity of the solution used, and the height of the reservoir but also the infusion profile of the individual pump being used. |
