title: Assessment of multiple intravenous pumps infusing into a single site.
abstract: Much research has examined drug concentration and flow rates for a single intravenous pump infusing into a single site, but there is no information on the delivery of medications when a multiple-pump system is required. The intent of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of multiple-pump systems infusing into a single site. We noted large fluctuations when multiple intravenous pumps infused into a single site.
