病棟種別による輸液ポンプの気泡アラーム発生頻度の調査と考察

抄録

We previously revealed the mechanisms of the bubble generation in infusion lines and investigated preventive methods of generating the bubbles. In the present study, we investigated the frequencies of the alarm activations for generating bubbles in infusion lines by the infusion pump under clinical settings. We compared the alarm frequency by the pumps used in general wards to that in the intensive care unit (ICU). Alarms in general wards were significantly frequently than those in the ICU. Quakes, which is derived from patients’ ambulation, might cause bubbles in infusion lines.
