 Just wondering about infusion pumps and giving sets- I was under the impression that you have to use specific giving sets with each brand of pump and that the pump would need re-calibrating to use a different</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>RE: Infusion pumps query</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/163822?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 14 Feb 2016 16:56:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:9b062290-1467-43cb-927c-5a98ca6bbda0</guid><dc:creator>morrane</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#39;s great, thank you :)&lt;/p&gt;

Ed, RVN</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Not contraindicated per se, it just depends on how accurate you want your pump to be.&amp;nbsp; Most pumps can be calibrated to particular sets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 60drops / 20drops difference should be irrrelevant - if the pump was set to deliver 10ml / hour, it just means that the 60 drops / ml set will be dripping faster!&amp;nbsp; (I don&amp;#39;t see any point in using a paediatric set on a pump unless that&amp;#39;s all they had at the time..)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems good sense to ensure that the pump is calibrated to the set.&amp;nbsp; Some of the older pumps will have a wobbly if you try to put a set in that it doesn&amp;#39;t like as well! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
