con:
require special administration sets: $
not in
super wide usage, so not easy to swhitch over to our pump from an ER pump, we
need to prime all new set and usually mix new bags.
administration sets are super sensitive to air bubbles, so great care
must be taken to bleed all air if you're not going with a sealevel
cabin.
Happy New Year to all! I was wondering what types of IV pumps are in
use out there. Name of the product, pros and cons and any other
links/information would be extremely helpful.
Thanks! Respond to the list or you may also e-mail me
privately.
