title: [Peripheral intravenous infusions. Reduction of morbidity owing to an electronic controller of infusion flow rate].
abstract: The ability of an electronic infusion controller (IVAC 230) to reduce morbidity in peripheral intravenous infusions was investigated in a controlled randomized trial. The results were assessed on the number of sites of injection in relation to the total duration of perfusion, with an adjustment for the quality of the fluids infused. Using the controller resulted in a 50% decrease in the number of sites of injection (risk alpha = 1%, beta = 10%).
