Use of continuous infusion pumps during radiation treatment.
INTRODUCTION Despite increasing chemoradiotherapy treatment, there is a paucity of information regarding the effects of radiation exposure on ambulatory infusion pumps used to deliver chemotherapy or other essential medications. The aim of this overview is to present the available evidence on this subject, heighten awareness within the clinical community, provide considerations for minimizing p...
متن کاملPerformance of infusion pumps during hyperbaric conditions.
BACKGROUND Many hyperbaric facilities use infusion pumps inside the chamber. It is therefore important to ensure that this equipment will perform accurately during hyperbaric conditions. The authors tested the function and accuracy of the Imed 965 and Infutec 520 volumetric infusion pumps, the Easy-pump MZ-257 peristaltic infusion pump, and the Graseby 3100 syringe pump. METHODS The authors c...
متن کاملMri Monitored Uptake of Manganese in the Mouse during Continuous Administration Using Osmotic Infusion Pumps
Introduction Cellular uptake of manganese (Mn) through Ca channels [1] combined with the paramagnetic properties of Mn, is exploited in Mn-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI) studies to provide information on brain anatomy and function of neuronal circuits. However, exposure to Mn is known to cause cellular toxicity. In humans Mn exposure may cause manganism, a Parkinson-like disease [2...
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 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...
