    Are you putting patients in danger? Heed warning on infusion pumps.

    • ED Manag. 2001 Jun 1;13(6):61-4.

    AbstractDuring on-site surveys in 2001, surveyors will be asking about your use of infusion pumps. The ED is at higher risk for errors and adverse outcomes than other departments because of the types of drugs given and time constraints. Do not use pumps without protection from the free-flow of intravenous fluid/medication into the patient. If your hospital is considering a change in infusion pumps, make sure someone from the ED is involved in the product evaluation.
