Typically this is the average of the three recordings when the triple lumen catheter is placed freely in the duodenum through the duodenoscope prior to cannulation. A schematic of this type of system is represented in Fig. Intermittent infusion has a "high" infusion rate, alternating with a low programmable infusion rate to keep the cannula open. Successful use of a TCI pump thus requires knowledge of the therapeutic concentrations appropriate for the specific clinical application. Prior to MRI, the physician should determine if the patient can safely be deprived of drug delivery. Programmable pump performance has not been established in >1.5-T magnetic resonance scanners, and it is not recommended that patients have MRI using these scanners. Turn on the perfusion valve. A blockage in infusion devices causes pressure to build up which can reduce the flow and cause harm to the patient. Diffusion pumps are probably the most commonly used mechanisms for creating a high vacuum in industrial vacuum processing. Some authors have attributed problems of respiratory depression associated with PCA to the failure or system deprogramming of software that runs infusion pump devices (Notcutt and Morgan, 1990). Gently tap the transducer dome to remove any air. SynchroMed pump performance has not been established in >2.0-T MR scanners and it is not recommended that patients have MRI using these scanners. Furthermore, if the pump is connected to the electronic medical record, the dosing information from the pump can be automatically documented in the record. Erosion of the cecum, mimicking appendicitis, is reported (184). Phasic waves should be recorded separately from the basal pressures. Pumps that allow for bar code identification of medications and that interact with the electronic medical record or anesthesia information system may prove more effective. Adhesion formation decreased with daily injections of heparin. Images of the head or lower extremities should be largely unaffected. The pump comprises an outer titanium casing that contains the pumping mechanism along with the controller, the drug solution reservoir, and the battery. These portable pumps are often used for chemotherapy that you have over weeks or months. Irrespective of whether the pressure is elevated or not or whether biliary and/or pancreatic sphincterotomy is performed, it is a standard practice now to place a stent in the pancreatic duct to reduce the risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis post-manometry (Fig. In the unlikely event that the patient reports a slight tugging sensation at the pump implant site, an elastic garment or wrap may be used to prevent the pump from moving and reduce the sensation the patient may experience. Certified to have no single point of failure. The following is the MRI information for the SynchroMed, SynchroMed EL, and SynchroMed II Drug Infusion Systems (Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, MN). Programmable infusion pumps and associated catheters typically contain metallic components and, thus, have certain features that may be impacted by conditions related to MRI (von Roemeling et al., 1991), particularly if the procedure is performed at 3-Tesla (Shellock et al., in press). SynchroMed pump performance has not been established in >2.0-T MR scanners and it is not recommended that patients have MRI using these scanners. It is generally used intravenously, although subcutaneous, arterial and epidural infusions are occasionally used. With the pump implanted in the abdomen, using pulse sequences that have dB/dt up to 20 T/s, the measured induced electric field near the pump is below the threshold necessary to cause stimulation. It is the method of choice for patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). If the cessation of drug therapy will negatively impact the patient but the MRI procedure is still necessary, an alternate means of temporary drug delivery with clinical monitoring should be implemented. The utilization of these devices for “targeted” drug delivery has several advantages, including significantly decreasing the dosages used (which appears to reduce drug-related adverse events) and increasing patient mobility (Anderson and Burchiel, 1999; Turner, 2003). One study found that tested smart pumps prevent only 4% of the adverse drug events in the intensive care unit (ICU). This will cause the pump alarm to sound. Backflow was seen in 13 pumps after a mean period of 7.2 months. An injection into a vein, over a few minutes, Through a drip (intravenous infusion) over anything from 30 minutes to a few hours, Through a drip or pump over 2 or more days, Through a pump that you wear over weeks or months. Continuous infusion usually consists of small pulses of infusion, usually between 20 nanoliters and 100 microliters, depending on the pump's design, with the rate of these pulses depending on the programmed infusion speed. We perform a station pull through at least two times. A "down pressure" sensor will detect when the patient's vein is blocked, or the line to the patient is kinked. A change in Hoechst 21 pH-neutral semisynthetic insulin 400 U/ml in accordance with regulations of the European Pharmacopoeia (SEDA-20, 397) resulted in more frequent clogging when this insulin was used in the Minimed 2001 implantable pump (MIP 2001). Homecare patients who are on permanent TPN will normally feed during the night. Once pressure measurements have been made, one has to decide whether to do a sphincterotomy. Hickman lines usually enter your body in the centre of your chest. Constant flow pumps do not require a power source. It is recommended that the perfusion system should be switched on for at least 15 minutes before the procedure. Perhaps the most drastic and time consuming change that can occur in a smallbore HPLC device is the replacement of a column. Initially the transducers are attached to the connecting catheters and the connecting catheters are in turn connected to the triple lumen catheters. Prior to MRI, the physician should determine if the patient can safely be deprived of drug delivery. Implanting the pump more lateral to the midline of the abdomen may result in higher temperature increases in tissues near the pump. The electronic programmable intrathecal infusion pumps manufactured by Medtronic (SynchroMed II) are the most commonly implanted infusion devices for pain and spasticity in the United States. The non-disposable type need re-filling from time to time. The interobserver variability in manometric readings is good. During a 20-minute pulse sequence in a 1.5-T GE Signa Scanner with a whole-body average SAR of 1 W/kg, a temperature rise of 1 degree Celsius in a static phantom, was observed near the pump implanted in the “abdomen” of the phantom. Hematoma, skin erosions, infections (182), pain, pump migration, and pocket complications are not rare (SEDA-20, 397) (183). The temperature rise in a static phantom represents a worst case for physiological temperature rise and the 20 minute scan time is representative of a typical imaging session. That is, no single cause of failure should cause the pump to silently fail to operate correctly. The duodenoscope is introduced into the duodenum as with any standard ERCP procedure. Classically, they use computer-controlled rollers compressing a silicone-rubber or PVC tube through which the medicine flows. From October 1995 to October 1996, 17 pumps were implanted (187). Then they run up, under your skin, to a large vein by your collarbone. Osmotic pumps are usually recharged with a syringe. If needed, contrast could be injected into the duct for better visualization of the anatomy and to rule out any other structural problem. Modification of the manufacturing process produced 21PH ETP insulin (human semisynthetic insulin, Genapol-stabilized) 400 U/ml, Hoechst, with improved stability since July 1997. The user interface of pumps usually requests details on the type of infusion from the technician or nurse that sets them up: Some pumps offer modes in which the amounts can be scaled or controlled based on the time of day. Spin echo sequences will cause image dropout in a region approximately 50% larger than the pump itself, about 12 cm across, but with little image distortion or artifact beyond that region.

The cutting wire should track up to the middle of the papilla and in biliary sphincterotomy should be oriented between the 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock position. These are usually tagged with the time and date from the pump's clock. There was no macrophage activation in 10 patients with obstructed (n = 3) or non-obstructed (n = 7) catheters in implantable pumps (185). Injection of contrast into the bile duct prior to sphincter of Oddi manometry has been shown to increase the mean pressure but not the basal sphincter pressure.11 Such evaluation has not been performed in the pancreatic duct. It is very important to have a continuous communication between the endoscopist and the technician/nurse assisting with manometry. Its usage is not widespread and data are limited.20. However, the reduction in image distortion obtained by adjustment of pulse sequence parameters will usually be at a cost in signal to noise ratio. However, the normal operating pressure (with a 33-μl/min flow rate and 15% MeOH) is between 1300 and 1700 psi. Sphincterotomy is performed by a traction sphincterotome over a guidewire. They mostly reappear after the plug is blown out, necessitating replacement (181). Large volume pumps can pump nutrient solutions large enough to feed a patient. The blood glucose concentration rose to 11 and 17 mmol/l, despite a bolus of insulin 6 units. Basically, the pump changes the energy flow from mechanical to the fluid. It is not required for veterinary infusion pumps. A state of the art pump [2005] may have the following safety features: 'Infusion pumps' are now a common way of having chemotherapy via a central line. 10.10). The hydraulic capillary infusion pump should be filled with 500 cc of sterile water and sealed tightly. The valve on the nitrogen tank attached to the perfusion system should be opened to a pressure of 100 PSI. The IsoMed pump will cause image dropout on MRI images in the region surrounding the pump. She felt sick and vomited during the night; the next morning her blood glucose was 21 mmol/l and she had ketonuria, abdominal cramps, and extreme fatigue. In 31 centers, 914 pumps were implanted, representing 2121 patient-years. Spring-powered clockwork infusion pumps have been developed, and are sometimes still used in veterinary work and for ambulatory small-volume pumps. A triple lumen sphincterotome would be useful since ease of initial cannulation with a sphincterotome has been demonstrated and moreover if sphincterotomy needs to be done it would result in cost savings and reduce need for additional equipment. The void volume can be refilled by hand-tamping packing material into the tip of the column. The problem area can be isolated with a first step of removing the plastic working electrode cell from the stainless steel block, then by removing the column from the injection valve, then by removing the guard column line from the injection valve, and finally by removing the inflow line of the guard column. constant force to the plunger, creating a constant pressure for fluid delivery. In addition to issues with pump hardware or software, user error is common. Prior to scheduling an MRI scan and upon completion of the MRI scan, or shortly thereafter, the pump status should be confirmed using the clinician programmer. Many infusion pumps are controlled by a small embedded system. An air detector/filter is an essential safety device to keep air out of the patients' veins: doctors estimate that 0.55 cm³ of air per kilogram of body weight is enough to kill (200-300 cm³ for adults) by filling the patient's heart. Chemotherapy given over weeks or months is most often called a 'continuous infusion'. With a traditional infusion pump, the occlusion may remain undetected until the pressure in the tubing reaches a certain threshold level, triggering the alarm through a pressure sensor many minutes and sometimes close to an hour later. Use spin echo or gradient echo MR imaging sequences with a relatively high data sampling bandwidth. Testing on programmable pumps has established the following with regard to other MRI safety issues: Specific absorption rate (SAR): Presence of the pump can potentially cause a two-fold increase of the local temperature in tissues near the pump. In a meta-analysis it was shown that pure cut current was associated with a slightly increased risk of immediate post-sphincterotomy bleeding; however, there were no significant differences in the rates of delayed bleeding or pancreatitis.16 We recommend using pure cutting current for pancreatic sphincterotomy and blended current for biliary sphincterotomy using standard electrical generators. Automated electrical generators delivering pulse current reduce excessive rapid cutting “zipper effect.” There is debate over the superiority of the type of current in prevention of bleeding and post-ERCP pancreatitis. We currently use a triple lumen Arndorfer pneumohydraulic capillary perfusion system (Arndorfer Medical Specialties, Greendale, Wisconsin, USA) (Fig. Although no comprehensive assessment of the incidence and nature of errors related to infusion pumps has been made, it is clear from the available evidence that programming errors are significant sources of error. Figure 20.3. The sleeve also helps stabilize the catheter in the sphincter zone without touching the side walls of the duct and providing erroneous values. Preliminary data indicate that a modified 5 Fr straight stent with the inner flange removed is associated with lower rates of pancreatitis compared to the 3 Fr pigtail stents.19 Insertion of 3 Fr pigtail stents is a little more difficult and one can use only a wire of 0.018 inch diameter. The user interface of pumps usually requests details on the type of infusion from the technician or nurse that sets them up: 1. Efficacy of perfusion with physiological solutions has not been established. These devices work generating a liquid flow pressure over the patient blood pressure … Many pumps include an internal electronic log of the last several thousand therapy events. Identify the location of the implant in the patient and when possible, orient all imaging slices away from the implanted pump. For instance, the drugs for each course of chemotherapy may be given as. This is a secondary method, and consists on comparing directly the flow generated by the infusion pump with the IDA. The exposure to RF energy should be limited to an MR system-reported, whole body averaged SAR of 3 W/kg for 15 min for a given pulse sequence applied to the patient. A 32-year-old woman with well-regulated diabetes, using about 35 U/day of insulin by continuous subcutaneous infusion, tried a sauna for the first time when her blood glucose was 7 mmol/l. Additional hazards are uncontrolled flow causing an overdose, uncontrolled lack of flow, causing an underdose, reverse flow, which can siphon blood from a patient, and air in the line, which can starve a patient's tissues of oxygen if it floats to some part of a patient's body. If a column is bad, it has to be replaced. The rate is precisely controlled by the salt concentrations and pump volume. Historically an extra catheter was attached to the duodenoscope shaft and served to provide continuous intraluminal duodenal pressure. Continuous infusion usually consists of small pulses of infusion, usually between 20 nanoliters and 100 microliters, depending on the pump's design, with the rate of these pulses depending on the programmed infusion speed. This should be taken into consideration by healthcare professionals with regard to patient management. Battery life is 6–7 years. The fluid ejects at an accurate and precise rate during infusion pump mode, when the pusher block pushes against the plunger of a secured syringe. Implanted intrathecal infusion pumps are of two general technologies: electronic programmable with a motor-driven roller pump; and nonprogrammable constant flow pumps. Time-varying gradient magnetic fields: Presence of the pump may potentially cause a two-fold increase of the induced electric field in tissues near the pump. The pressure problem will disappear after one of these steps and the problem can be corrected accordingly. Minimizing image distortion: MR image artifact may be minimized by careful choice of pulse sequence parameters and location of the angle and location of the imaging plane. Computer-controlled drug delivery in the operating room is an exciting area with well-established clinical utility, although it is admittedly difficult to demonstrate obvious outcome improvements compared to traditional delivery methods. Testing on the IsoMed pump has established the following with regard to MRI safety and diagnostic issues. In the unlikely event that the patient reports stimulation during the scan, the proper procedure is the same as for patients without implants – stop the MRI scan and adjust the scan parameters to reduce the potential for nerve stimulation. There were 30 reports of device malfunction for this programmable infusion pump. A properly functioning and properly programmed pump can potentially intercept errors during multiple steps in the medication delivery process. Occlusion is an obstruction or closure of a passageway or vessel. The only bit you can see is the length of line that hangs out of the small entry hole in your chest. The development and... Good nutrition is important to everyone but crucial to those with disease-related malnutrition or recovering from surgery. 11.1) have become increasingly prevalent in the perioperative setting, and they offer significant advantages, including the ability to deliver very small volumes of fluids or many of the drugs discussed at precisely programmed rates. Episodes of severe hypoglycemia were fewer than during intensive subcutaneous therapy. If the patient cannot be safely deprived of drug delivery, alternative delivery methods for the drug can be utilized during the time required for the MRI scan. The pressure can actually be read-out at the cuff's indicator. Their importance is to prevent free flow of an infusion should negative pressure develop in the line. It is suggested that, prior to manometry, if a cholangiogram or pancreatogram were to be routinely obtained, it might obviate manometry if another etiology or anatomic abnormality was seen which could explain a patient's symptoms. The temperature increase in a static phantom represents a worst case for physiological temperature increase and the 20-minute scan time is representative of a typical imaging session. An elastic garment or wrap will prevent the pump from moving and reduce the sensation the patient may experience. An ISCO LC-5000 infusion pump has a pressure limit of 3700 psi.
