Infusion pump is a kind of instrument that can accurately control the infusion or infusion flow rate and ensure that the drug solution enters the patient's body at a uniform speed, accurately and safely. Because it can significantly improve the efficiency and flexibility of clinical drug delivery operation and reduce the nursing workload, it is no longer limited to ICU, CCU and other departments.

　　In clinical application, the quality and safety of infusion pump is directly related to the patient's life safety and clinical medical quality. However, with its gradual and widespread application, the incidence of adverse events is also increasing.

　　Let's talk about it today——Common problems and intervention measures during the use of infusion pump～

　　What are the common problems during the use of the infusion pump?

　　1. Infusion volume input error

　　In the process of clinical application of infusion pump, it is easy to have the problem that the set input amount is inconsistent with the actual input amount, which is mainly affected by many factors such as the professional level of the operator and the degree of work detail.

　　For example, if the infusion pump and the infusion pump pipe are not matched, the input amount setting will be wrong, the infusion time required under the same infusion speed will be different, and the normal effect of the infusion pump will be affected.

　　2. The infusion pipe is blocked

　　The number of patients admitted to different departments is different, and the blood of tumor patients presents a high coagulation state, which will lead to the slow pumping speed of drugs in the infusion pump, and even the blockage of the infusion pump when the blood at the needle tip coagulates.

　　The blockage of the infusion pump will have a great impact on the patients. In clinical application, attention should be paid to avoid the blockage of the infusion pump pipeline.

　　3. Irregular alarm

　　Compared with the traditional infusion method, the infusion pump adds artificial intelligence factors and can send out alarm functions. It can enable medical personnel and patients to grasp the infusion situation on time and avoid problems such as untimely fluid change.

　　However, affected by the environmental requirements of the patients in the hospital, the hospital needs to maintain a quiet atmosphere. The sharp and harsh sound of the infusion pump alarm will disturb the rest of the patients. Even when the infusion pump is abnormal, it will give an irregular alarm, which will greatly affect the rest of the patients and even disturb the order of the hospital.

　　How to intervene the common problems in clinical application of infusion pump?

　　Next, let's talk about the intervention measures for the above problems:

　　1. Use the instrument correctly

　　Make sure you fully understand the use of the infusion pump,In clinical application, the infusion pump shall be used in strict accordance with the operating instructions of the infusion pump, correctly connect the infusion device, and adjust various parameters to accurate values.

　　For example, when the infusion pump continuously pumps liquid, the liquid in the pump shall be replaced during the infusion period, and the pumping speed and input volume of the infusion pump shall be adjusted correspondingly.

　　2. Be diligent in observing the infusion path

　　It is an effective measure to ensure the timely inspection of the infusion channel to avoid the blockage of the infusion pump.

　　1) Check the power supply device to ensure its tight connection and normal power supply. Meanwhile, turn off unnecessary alarm. After the infusion pump alarms, eliminate the alarm in time and complete relevant operations with correct treatment measures.

　　2) In daily work, pay attention to keep the infusion pump clean. If dirt is found on the bubble probe, it should be cleaned in time to avoid false alarm of the bubble probe.

　　3. Ensure the matching of infusion pump pipes

　　Ensure the matching between the infusion pump and the infusion pump pipe, avoid the influence of the infusion accuracy due to the time process of pumping liquid, and timely replace the position of the infusion device in the pump.

　　Before the infusion pump is put into clinical use, the professional instructors of the application equipment department and the instrument manufacturer shall give guidance on the on-site application and inform the solutions to some simple faults. Pay attention to the regular monitoring and maintenance of the infusion pump to ensure the timely detection and maintenance of faults.
