Upon HDU admission, patients were randomly assigned in a ratio of 1 1 to be infused by the conventional insulin infusion system or by the optimised system with dedicated insulin infusion.
Remifentanil was infused with a target-controlled infusion system programmed with parameters obtained from Minto et al [ 7] to maintain a constant predicted blood target concentration of 1 8 ng/mL.
Insulin in a concentration of 50 units in 50 cc 0.9% NaCl was infused using the Injectomat Agilia® syringe infusion system (flow rate change: range 0.1 200 ml/h, Fresenius Kabi, Bad Homburg, Germany).
Insulin aspart (Novo Nordisk, Bagsvaerd, Denmark), in a concentration of 50 units in 50 cc 0.9 % NaCl, was continuously infused using the Injectomat Agilia® syringe infusion system (flow-rate change, range 0.1−200 ml/h, Fresenius Kabi, Bad Homburg, Germany).
Bowman and Westenskow [ 31] introduced a microcomputer-based fluid infusion system for fluid resuscitation with real-time measurement of infused fluid and UOP.
Insulin (Actrapid HM; Novo Nordisk, Bægsvard, Denmark), in concentration of 50 IU in 50 mL 0.9% NaCl, was continuously infused through a central venous catheter by the Perfusor Space syringe infusion system (BBraun, Melsungen, Germany).
Intervention: Implantation of a programmable ITB infusion system.
An in-dwelling infusion system was employed to vary T-pulse frequencies and durations.
In the case of insulin, rationalisation of the infusion system could eliminate the unwanted insulin bolus that causes hypoglycaemic events.
Conclusion: The continuous local anesthetic infusion system appears to be effective in reducing postoperative morphine use after cesarean delivery.
To evaluate the effect of vacuum and aspiration rates on phacoemulsification efficiency and chatter using a monitored forced infusion system.
