IV Big Improvements

My nurse has been using the Cloroprep on me for a while when she accesses my port. They're much less messy, and much more convienient. As for the self-pumping ball, I used it the last time I had Tobra (which was a few years ago). I wish I could use it every time I need any I.V. med. Its so much easier!

I always use them as well My Cf nurse calls them her pasta and meatballs. The meatball being the antibiotic the pasta being the line.

I love them very much and I use them when ever I can the only ones that don't work for that is Zyvox or Vanc.. those I still have to do at home by gravity drip...

I love th chlorapreps we use them at work all the time.. They are much more expensive then etoh pads but they are well worth it ..

I HATE HATE HATE the eclipse pump. There's no way to tell if the line is occluded, and no way to tell for certain when the medication will finish running. This has been a source of frustration. I prefer the Baxter/Bard pump with the giant syringe and the ticking timer with the alarm. It was much simpler.

I've been told that the eclipse pump has been designed to make things simpler for patients who may not have the dexterity or strength to do the other form of IVs.

I miss the days of the syringe and pump. Lately all my meds have been either gravity drip (can we say ARCHAIC!) or the eclipse pump. If I had a choice, I'd prefer they gave me the older style stuff, like the personal size versions of the same kind of computerized ones they have in the hospital. However, I understand that not everyone is self-sufficient enough to handle so many push buttons to set it up.

For as expensive as the eclipse pumps are, I have to say they leave much to be desired.
