Intravenous smart pump devices hold specific medications in electronic libraries. These libraries contain predetermined volumes with corresponding administration rate limits. Smart pumps prevent nurses from engaging in calculations under high-pressure situations and ensure that only therapies available to the nurse are administered to patients. When this technology is available and not utilized, litigation could be successful in finding fault on the nurse. Therefore, nurses should use the available smart pump technology every time when administering intravenous therapy.
静脉智能泵设备在电子库中保存特定药物。这些库包含预设的容量以及相应的给药速率限制。智能泵可防止护士在高压情况下进行计算,并确保仅向患者提供护士可用的治疗方法。当有这项技术却未被使用时,诉讼可能会判定护士有过错。因此,护士在进行静脉治疗时每次都应使用可用的智能泵技术。
