A decade of insulin infusion pumps.
Over the past 10 years there have been many changes in the details of diabetic management. The development of home monitoring for capillary blood glucose and widespread availability of measurements of glycosylated haemoglobin have provided direct evidence that most diabetic children have poor or very poor glycaemic control. Additionally, there has been further evidence in support of the hypothe...
متن کاملContinuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy: A primer on insulin pumps.
OBJECTIVE To summarize the role, benefits, and risks of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy for treating diabetes. DATA SOURCES A literature search was conducted in Medline (1996 to July 2008) using the search terms intensive insulin therapy, insulin pump, and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion. Reference lists from comprehensive review articles were also used to ide...
متن کاملPRACTICAL PROBLEMS AND THE EFFICACY OF INTRAOSSEOUS INFUSION: SOLVING THE PROBLEMS BY EMPLOYING AN ANIMAL MODEL
In critically ill infants and children, intravascular (IV) access is sometimes very difficult. In such cases intraosseous (IO) infusion should be used as the method of choice. However, in practice, different problems are experienced with this procedure. To overcome the practical problems and to confirm the efficacy of IO infusion in reversing hypovolemic shock, an animal model was used by ...
متن کاملComparative dose accuracy of durable and patch insulin infusion pumps.
BACKGROUND As all major insulin pump manufacturers comply with the international infusion pump standard EN 60601-2-24:1998, there may be a general assumption that all pumps are equal in insulin-delivery accuracy. This research investigates single-dose and averaged-dose accuracy of incremental basal deliveries for one patch model and three durable models of insulin pumps. METHOD For each pump ...
متن کاملDisposable infusion pumps.
PURPOSE The properties, performance, and applications of nonelectric disposable infusion pumps are reviewed. SUMMARY All nonelectric disposable infusion pumps exploit the same physical principle: mechanical restriction within the flow path determines the speed of pressurized fluid. The pressure generated by disposable pumps on fluid is 250-600 mm Hg, compared with 5-1200 mm Hg of pressure for...
