I am gathering information about administration of blood through a
central line to adult patients. If you would kindly answer the following
questions:
1. Does your facility infuse blood using a pump?
If yes, is this into a PIV or CVC or both?
2. Does your facility require blood to be ran through a pump into a
CVC?
3. Do you have specific criteria when you would use a pump to infuse
blood?
4. What type of pump do you use?
5. What is the cost of your blood pump tubing vs cost of regular
gravity flow blood tubing?
Many Thanks!
