Abstract:Objective
The current study aimed to evaluate the extent of the slide‐stick phenomenon in differently designed infusion syringes at various infusion rates and filling positions.
Methods
Fluid delivery from three 50‐mL infusion syringe brands (BD; Codan; Fresenius) was investigated using a flow sensor at flow rates of 0.5, 1.0, or 5.0 mL h−1, with the syringes filled with either 10, 30, or 50 mL of distilled water. Two identical models (A/B) of the same infusion pump model were used. The effect of flow rate var… Show more
