Abstract

Failure of battery-powered equipment during the interhospital transfer of patients is potentially life threatening. The time to failure of 60 fully-charged identical syringe pumps (20 from each batch purchased in 1992, 1994 and 1995) was measured. Older pumps were associated with less predictable charge capacity, with 40% of the 1992 pumps failing within 60 min. The premature failure of these pumps is most likely due to poor battery care. It is unsafe to assume that a fully-charged, battery-powered pump will continue to function throughout a long transfer. The routine carriage of spare pumps or a backup power supply is recommended.

摘要

在患者院间转运过程中，电池供电设备出现故障可能会危及生命。对60台充满电的相同型号注射泵（1992年、1994年和1995年各批次购买20台）的故障时间进行了测量。较旧的注射泵充电容量的可预测性较低，1992年生产的注射泵中有40%在60分钟内出现故障。这些注射泵过早出现故障很可能是由于电池保养不当。认为充满电的电池供电注射泵会在长时间转运过程中持续运行是不安全的。建议常规携带备用注射泵或备用电源。
