TI  - The Effects of Randomly Selected IV Serum Sets on Constant Rate Infusion: In-Vitro Demonstration
AB  - Volumetric infusion pumps are electronic devices used for fluid replacement as well as constant rate infusion of anesthetic drugs. The device provides the infusion of the fluid in the set by performing peristaltic pressure on the IV (intravenous) serum set hose. Although IV sets are preferred by their peristaltic pressure properties, the random IV sets selected from the clinical field are mostly used in anesthesia. A reference infusion set which was a special product for a volumetric infusion pump, and fifteen different branded IV serum sets were used in this study. After measuring the diameters and dead spaces, serum sets were connected to the infusion pump, tap water was passed from each serum set for an hour, and collected in a graduated cylinder and measured. It was observed that the serum sets, including the reference set, may change the expected fluid volume by 19%. The diameter of the IV set affected the dead spaces and infused fluid volume. It was concluded that to overlap the expected and observed fluid volumes, the brands’ infusion capacity on the pump should be tested on the device before the anesthesia for the clinical fields is a requirement.
