Preventing Interruptions in IV Carrier Delivery of Vasoactive Drips in Cardiac Anesthesia and Intensive Care
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Stopcocks in intravenous (IV) tubing are an integral part of delivering safe patient care in anesthesia, critical care, and other areas of medicine. They allow for the easy, rapid connection of syringes to deliver boluses of medication to patients. They are also useful for connecting infusions of IV medications, such as inotropes, vasopressors and others. 1At the same time, when not being used, the stopcocks can be covered with sterile screw-on caps to reduce contamination, and possible subsequent line sepsis. 2
