Popis:	Intrathecal pumps are relatively new devices that deliver potent medications directly into the cerebrospinal fluid and are implanted for chronic conditions, including severe malignant and non-malignant pain as well as spasticity. ICU providers may encounter them in the course of their practice, so it is important to be familiar with their function and how they may affect patient management. This article briefly highlights some of common complications and considerations that would be applicable in an ICU setting.
