Course programme
A generic course with a focus on both volumetric and syringe pumps. The main source of errors are as a result of lack of foundations and based on assumptions. To avoid these common errors this course identifies only what you need to know in 5 minutes and can be applied to any pump irrespective of the model. Foundations are generic and once understood, will remain with you forever. So what you need to know are the factors that affect your infusion rate:
1. the major difference between volumetric and syringe pumps
2. how to avoid over or under infusion
3. how reliable is your screen display
4. the importance of purging the syringe using the pump
5. the importance of infusion set compatibility
6. factors leading to occlusion and how to detect them
