Care and maintenance of an infusion pump
An infusion pump is a medical equipment used in clinics and hospitals to mobilize fluids such as solutions, drugs, blood and blood derivatives through a connector into the patient’s circulatory torrent, thus facilitating precise parenteral administration of drugs and solutions.
infusion pumps: what are they and what are they used for?
These medical equipment are the precise solution to fluid administration in the patient, since the infusion pumps were introduced in hospitals and clinics, precision errors have been reduced avoiding delays in patient recovery or possible complications that may arise in the administration of treatment to the patient; in addition to allowing the nurse to perform other activities because she should no longer be constantly monitoring the administration of fluids.
Differences between an infusion pump and a syringe pump
Infusion pumps and syringe pumps are medical equipment that allows drugs or solutions to be delivered to the patient’s body in controlled quantities and accurately. They are used when it is key to give the patient a specific amount of a drug or solution at a certain rate or for a specific amount of time.
Which is an infusion pump in nursing?
Infusion pumps are artificial energy devices capable of providing a positive influence of liquid to infuse in patients, providing greater accuracy and safety of drugs than traditional methods of flow control (controllers), thus avoiding bacterial agents and in turn decreasing the percentage of human errors.
What are the Features and Applications of a Semen Analyser?
The semen analyser is a medical team that has different properties adapted to the type of user, in charge of measuring the quantity and quality of sperm, and checking the existence or not of problems, with the activity of the same.
Colorimeter maintenance and care
A colorimeter is a device used to measure and analyze colors, this device allows to identify colors and their shades, providing accurate and very objective measurements of the colors being evaluated. Colorimeters have one light source and three or more filters. The light source emits light at a wavelength and then passes through a filter before impacting the object being measured.
How is a drug stability study done?
Drug stability studies are analyzes conducted in pharmaceutical industries, with the aim of evaluating how a drug will be affected by different environmental conditions over time. These studies are an integral part of many manufacturing processes in this type of industry, since they allow to show that a final product was obtained free of errors and that it works properly.
What is a Color Evaluation Box?
The color evaluation box is a suitable tool for all industries and applications, where there is a need to maintain color consistency and quality, from different light sources.
Burns or electroscalpel-related adverse events
Electrosurgery is an operation that is currently very common, and like any surgery, requires some steps or requirements that ensure the safety of the patient, to ensure quality management in any health service, offering the patient an effective and safe care; however, the applications of the electroscalpel starts from the principle of electrosurgery, where low frequency electrical currents are used, to generate high frequency alternating energy in the tissue, and allows the cutting and coagulation derived from thermal energy, avoiding the stimulation of muscle and nerve structures and the consequent tissue damage.
How are the operating tables used?
The operating tables are medical equipment that allows optimum, accurate and safe positioning of the patient in the operating room for all surgical specialties. These specialized tables facilitate the positioning of patients during the different surgical interventions, and allow the surgeon to have good access to the surgical field. Depending on the model, operating tables can be operated manually, mechanically, electro-hydraulically or electromechanically.
