Infusion pumps provide an automated way of dispensing small amounts of medication or other fluids that are impractical to administer manually, soaking up valuable nursing time. The Medfusion 3500 syringe pump is the latest model in this particular product line. They are ideal for administering tenths of millilitres over a period of minutes, pain medication that is administered by the patient and fluids where the volume to be administered is different at specific times of the day.
Automating drug delivery means that nurses have more time to take care of patients and saves the hospital money which can also be diverted for other patient-centered activities. One area in which infusion pumps earn their keep is in newborn intensive care units. Here, doses of antibiotics in infants weighing less than five pounds can be in the order of tenths of millilitres. These are time-consuming and prone to error in a patient where there is not a lot of margin for error.
Medfusion syringe pumps are easy to customize, smart, safe, adaptable and flexible. They are capable of delivering drugs at high, controlled pressures either directly into the spinal cord, as in prenatal anesthesia, or subcutaneously. Because they are pre-programmed, the potential for an error in dosage is almost completely eliminated.
The advantage of delivering drugs underneath the skin means you have a virtually blank canvas. This saves wear and tear on the patient when numerous injection sites are necessary. The only drawback is that edema can interfere with the action of certain drugs.
One way of customizing infusion pumps for a specific task is by manipulating parameters such as lipid resistance, formulation, non-allergenic (latex-free) or needle-free configurations. The 3500 features software that has been designed to eliminate medication errors within programmable dosing limits. Other safety features integrated within the system include pressure trend displays and rapid alarm response time.
Medicating patients in the hospital setting using a Medfusion 3500 syringe pump is safer, cheaper and optimizes nursing time. They may be used in the research setting or in the hospital. They are particularly useful in obstetric anesthesia and in patient-controlled analgesia.
