In 2004, the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) released a safety alert relating to the management and use of infusion devices in England and Wales. The alert called for the standardisation of infusion devices and a consideration of using centralised equipment systems to manage device storage. There has also been growing interest in smart-pump technology, such as dose error reduction software (DERS) as a way to reduce IV medication errors. However, questions remain about the progress that has been made towards infusion device standardisation and the adoption of DERS. In this article, the authors report the results of a survey investigating the extent to which the standardisation of infusion devices has occurred in the last 10 years and centralised equipment libraries are being used in practice, as well as the prevalence of DERS use within the UK. Findings indicate that while reported standardisation levels are high, use of centralised equipment libraries remains low, as does DERS usage.
2004年，英国国家患者安全机构（NPSA）发布了一项关于英格兰和威尔士输液设备管理与使用的安全警报。该警报呼吁输液设备标准化，并考虑使用集中式设备系统来管理设备存储。人们对智能泵技术的兴趣也在不断增加，例如剂量误差减少软件（DERS），作为减少静脉用药错误的一种方式。然而，关于输液设备标准化以及DERS采用方面所取得的进展仍存在疑问。在本文中，作者报告了一项调查结果，该调查旨在探究过去10年输液设备标准化的程度以及实践中集中式设备库的使用情况，还有英国境内DERS的使用普及率。调查结果表明，虽然报告的标准化水平较高，但集中式设备库的使用仍然较少，DERS的使用情况也是如此。
