@empowern 10 лет назад

Awe Yay!! So glad that you understand it now! Don't worry, it took me a while too. There is soooo much to learn! See you soon!! - Caroline

I love your first 2014 video! Very easy to understand and detailed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom in nursing. You're a selfless teacher. God bless you!

Thank you! I only had the opportunity to see the alaris pump once in class before covid quarantine, after 3 weeks of quarantine my next lab will be skills check-off!

@michellesherice 10 лет назад

Very helpful. I have not had to do skilled nursing and I missed out on a lot . Thank you for your videos. Wish I had you as an instructor

@empowern 10 лет назад

Hello Michelle how are you doing today that's nice have a nice video

Thanks for being so informative and sassy .

@Mcclot1993 10 лет назад

Thanks for the introduction on how to use IV pumps. I think I still have some questions. 1. There are so many different diseases and disorders to the human body how are you able to recognize the signs and symptoms to all those diseases. 2. What is a nursing teaching plan? How do you make one? Of all the places to work as a nurse what would be the best place to gain experience. I would want to be in a setting that would let me not just pass meds or do IV's I want to do everything pass meds, start iv's, give shots, insert catheters, do tube feedings, dress wounds, blood transfusions etc. 3. There are so many assessments before you do everything. How do you do an assessment before you pass meds or before you administer a tube feeding?

@MilanDior123 10 лет назад

please do more nursing skills demonstrations!

@CostcoclubbingMom 10 лет назад

Great video! I definitely like to see you explain these clinical skills that we should know as a nurse as sometimes in school or at clinical the teacher rushes and doesn't take the time like you do. More of these videos in the future would be great! Thank you!

@empowern 10 лет назад

I know, I had the same experience... it seemed like the nursing faculty did not have enough time and they also said that this was not on the NCLEX (which is true), but it is important! So glad you found it helpful! Will try to do more videos like this in the future :) xoxo - Caroline

@mrd2689a 10 лет назад

I use a Baxter IV pump in my dental office.

@saguirre760 10 лет назад

Thanks for the demo, if possible you should try to do the whole demonstration with a person. i.e. starting IV on a person. But really good, the 6 minute video went by fast.

@empowern 10 лет назад

saguirre760 Thanks so much for letting me know you liked it! I can only create video when supplies become available... but whenever they do I definitely will do that :) see you soon!!

@nurseo5952 2 года назад

Thank you so much for your videos! I learn more with you than with my instructors. Always in a rush! More Drip videos pls! ♥️

@reivenwolf 10 лет назад

this is great. I love when you do the clinical stuff, like Sassybabie said, the instructors go over it so fast in class it's really beneficial to have a great video to reinforce the information! Also, I like that your video's are to the point. :D

@empowern 10 лет назад

Awesome!! So glad you found it helpful!! Nice to see you again!! Will try to do more videos like this soon!! xoxo - Caroline

@NismoCA 10 лет назад

Caroline your videos are awesome. You are an excellent role model nurses and nursing students and inspiration to many. You present information in a clear and concise manner and are very knowledgeable and pretty. Coming from a male nurse of course! :-)

@empowern 10 лет назад

Awe, thanks so much for letting me know! I really appreciate it :) Looking forward to seeing you on here again soon! - Caroline

@EvenBiggerPharma 8 лет назад

Is there any way to do this just mechanically without a pump?

@marixagarcia1793 16 дней назад

I’m confused. Why was a bolus rate 999 ml/hr and VTBI was 250ml when the bag is 1000ml? I understand the second example with the rate being 100ml/hr and VTBI was set at 950ml so the line doesn’t run dry but why was a bolus at 250ml??? Thank you. New grad here 😅

@kristalcapalungan2067 10 лет назад

Hi Caroline, thank you so much for you videos. it has really helped a lot and very empowering. i would say i gained my confidence through watching your videos and following your advice and techniques. I hope you could post more videos like this especially on wound management. more power and God bless!

@empowern 10 лет назад

Hi Kristal! Thank you so much for letting me know :) I'm so glad to hear that the videos are helping you!! I would love to post more videos like this & will do them as supplies become available :) Looking forward to hearing from you again very soon! Much Love, - Caroline

@jcbonitaRN 7 лет назад

thank you so much this is so helpful,can you do a video with a piggy back?mixing with other fluid?

@empowern 7 лет назад

+jcbonZ Thanks for letting me know you liked the video! Will try to do a piggyback... just depends on supplies 😊

@deborahoneillmccarthy7032 10 лет назад

Good effort remember to use correct terminology If you have the pump manufacturer's manual you can review the actual name of components such as drip chamber, pumping chamber, roller clamp Never remove the protective covers prior to inserting the administration set spike into the IV bag. All manufacturer's have recommendations for placement of an infusion pump on a pole and head height of the bag really important to mention as this helps avoid upstream occlusion alarms. Also should mention the importance of keeping large volume infusion pumps plugged in. Keep in mind that RN scope of practice does allow for RN's to add medication to the IV Bag as ordered in different care areas

@empowern 10 лет назад

Deborah O'Neill McCarthy Hi Deborah, It is nice to hear from you! That is a great idea to look at the manufacture's manual for the proper names! I can't believe I didn't think of that before. Thanks again! Much Love, - Caroline

@TimCooley 9 лет назад

You mentioned you don't want it to run dry as one would have to reprime it, what would does that do for patient or the treatment? What would happen if the thing ran out of fluids?

@chelseyalvarado11 9 лет назад

If they are on continuous fluid or something of that nature it takes more time out of your busy day to reprime a new tube it osts more money. It doesn't harm the patient because the pump will stop when air goes through the tubing to a certain point.

@Quercuspalustris50 8 лет назад

Those bags usually have a little overfill anyway.

@tsuzukikikyou 3 года назад

Question if I may. if someone was at rate 400 for an IVIG with a total of 75mg. The treatment lasts about 6 hours. does this mean the same thing as 4.8 mL/kg/ hour (IV). or is it is set to fast?

@MegaRafaelloco 4 года назад

Say you were working nights, and the pt. complained of the beeping noises. How would you silence the pump on/off?

@ajinubabu6528 4 года назад

There is a silent button

@justgoballistic 8 месяцев назад

As a patient, I am disappointed in this piece of equipment. My nurse's tell me I have to listen to the annoying clicking noise for the next 10 days. Can't sleep. I put a sweat shirt around it an strapped it up nice an tight with my belt. Now maybe I can get some sleep. Your presentation was the same as the others I have watched, however nobody addresses the noise this thing makes.

@shevaunconnors8432 10 лет назад

Hi! How do you get the air bubbles out of the line? Or how do they get there?

@empowern 10 лет назад

Hi Shevaun! I make sure the main bag is high, hold the tubing low & tap gently on the pole. You will get the hang of it :) xoxo - Caroline

@mistanix 7 лет назад

are there any products like blood/plasma/nourishment/medicine that can be stored long term?

@Browndelight80 9 лет назад

Great video, I'm a nursing student and needed a refresher on the the Alaris pump. Majority of my clinical sites have the older pumps and now I'm in critical care rotation using the Alaris. Thanks much!

@Cristianandtupac 6 месяцев назад

Annoying why does the IV pump need to know what floor the patient is on 😅

@pajnra 10 лет назад

yes, i would love to see more videos like this!

@karintarasenko4629 10 лет назад

Have you done any videos on blood administration?

@empowern 10 лет назад

Hi Karin! I have not yet... would love to do one. If I ever get supplies... I will!! xoxo - Caroline

@chocodil2 9 лет назад

This is good knowledge for anyone, thank you for posting!

@tonyas8785 8 месяцев назад

So you change the tubing every 24 hours when you change the bag or you just leave the tubing there for 3 days with no bag attached

@KatelandVu 7 лет назад

How would you bring that infusion machine home???

@ju7062 6 лет назад

I really liked the video. But if you could please ho a little slower without cuts in filming would be alot better. Thanks

@hilalsinno 10 лет назад

great video...I just want to know the difference between pumps that are displayed sideways (BBraun, Fresinus) vs pumps displayed downward (Alaris). Another thing regarding the pump in the video, What will happen if the main console for some reason malfunctions, will it be impossible to use the pumps and is it space consuming if you have several channels attached to the main console? Thanks,

@empowern 10 лет назад

hilal sinno Hi Hilal! Really nice to hear from you!! Most of the pumps pretty much work the same way. You just have to find out where the buttons are on that particular pump :) If the main console is not working, I don't think it will allow you to use the pump... If everything is not perfect, they pretty much will not work. I hope this helps!! xoxo - Caroline

@deborahoneillmccarthy7032 10 лет назад

Large volume infusion pumps = linear peristaltic movement of fluid through the pumping chamber . There are many different features in each device and pump training prior to use is essential as it helps you avoid alarms and should instruct you in troubleshooting of each device. Many manufacturer's have specific instructions on their websites. If you want to understand the individual pumps log into the manufacturer's sites. The BBraun Space pump was designed to avoid nuisance air in line alarms with the horizontal placement of the administration set in the pumping chamber.

@royakatouzian1503 8 лет назад

Hi Caroline. Can you please do a video on how to set up a PCA with the Alaris pump? : )

@empowern 8 лет назад

+Roya Katouzian Hi Roya! I would love to! However, PCA pumps are harder to do this with, you actually need a vial of Morphine or Dilauded to scan (although of course I guess it could be filled with something else). However, due to this, I have not been able to get anyone to let me make a video. Hopefully in the future this will change and more doors will open :) fingers crossed!! Thank you for letting me know what you wanted to see though! xoxo - Caroline

Successfully set up my first IV bag on a patient on Tuesday (albeit, with my adjuct's help since we got all of five minutes to practice in class). And set up a piggyback as well. She was saying there's two ways to set up a piggyback. Can you do a video on them?
