Abstract

Objective: The primary purpose of this research was to describe nurse and pharmacist knowledge of setup requirements for intravenous (IV) smart pumps that require head height differentials for accurate fluid flow.

Methods: A secondary analysis of anonymous electronic survey data using a database of prerecruited clinicians was conducted. A survey was sent by email to 173 pharmacists and 960 nurses. The response rate for pharmacists was 58% (100 of 173), and the response rate for nurses was 52% (500 of 960). After removing respondents who did not provide direct care and who did not use a head height differential IV infusion system, the final sample for analysis was 186 nurses and 25 pharmacists.

Results: Overall, less than one-half of respondents (40%) were aware that manufacturer guidelines for positioning the primary infusion bag relative to the infusion pump were available. Slightly more (49.5%) were aware of the required head height differentials for secondary infusion. Only five respondents selected the correct primary head height, eight respondents selected the correct secondary head height, and one respondent selected both the correct primary and secondary head heights.

Conclusion: The results of this study identify a substantial lack of knowledge among frontline clinicians regarding manufacturer recommendations for accurate IV administration of primary and secondary infusions for head height differential infusion systems. Both increased clinician education and innovative technology solutions are needed to improve IV smart pump safety and usability.

护士和药剂师了解静脉智能泵系统的设置要求。
研究目的本研究的主要目的是描述护士和药剂师对静脉注射(IV)智能泵的设置要求的了解情况,这些泵需要头高差来实现准确的液体流动:方法: 使用预先招募的临床医生数据库对匿名电子调查数据进行二次分析。通过电子邮件向 173 名药剂师和 960 名护士发送了调查问卷。药剂师的回复率为 58%(173 人中有 100 人回复),护士的回复率为 52%(960 人中有 500 人回复)。在剔除不提供直接护理和不使用头部高度差静脉输液系统的受访者后,最终的分析样本为 186 名护士和 25 名药剂师:总体而言,不到二分之一的受访者(40%)知道生产商提供了主输液袋相对于输液泵的定位指南。了解二次输液所需的头部高度差的受访者略多(49.5%)。只有 5 名受访者选择了正确的主输液头高度,8 名受访者选择了正确的副输液头高度,1 名受访者同时选择了正确的主输液头和副输液头高度:这项研究的结果表明,一线临床医生对制造商关于头部高度差输液系统的主要和次要输液的准确静脉输注建议缺乏了解。为提高静脉智能泵的安全性和可用性,需要加强对临床医生的教育并采用创新技术解决方案。
