Seoul National University College of Engineering, Seoul, Republic of Korea Background Infusion pump that deliver drug accurately and precisely is crucial. peristaltic pump: not guarantee at a lower rate. syringe pump: more precise, but shows 'start-up delay’ cylinder pump: minimal 'start-up delay’ (Anyfusion V-100, Meinntech, Korea) To compare the 'start-up delay' characteristics and accuracy of dopamine delivery among the 3 types of infusion pumps in a laboratory setting.
Methods Dopamine premix in bag or in 50-ml syringe peristaltic pump syringe pump cylinder pump Anyfusion V-100 Methods Dopamine premix in bag or in 50-ml syringe Infusion rate of 10 ml/hr 'star-up delay’: time delay between the start button pressed and an actual first drop made Accuracy of delivery: the volume of actually delivered drug was measured at every 1 min for an hour Data are presented as median(interquatile) and analyzed with Kruskal Wallis test. (n=5)
Results Syringe pump showed longest start-up delay and cylinder pump showed the shortest. S 28.0(15.0) vs. P 13.0(12.5) vs. C 5.0(3.0); sec. P=0.004 The difference between actually delivered volume and expected delivery volume was significantly larger in peristaltic pump. Conclusions In conclusion, cylinder pump shows shorter star-up delay in comparison to syringe pump, and delivers more accurate volume of drug in comparison to peristaltic pump.
