| Popis: | Air embolism and static pressure errors have been attributed to continuous infusion systems. Experiments show that the primary source of air bubbles in such a system is the drip chamber. A drip chamber that minimizes this problem was tested and is recommended. Pressure errors due to the flush system are shown to be clinically insignificant. Fast flushing through a central arterial catheter is shown to be a minimal hazard. |
