Multiple intravenous infusions phases 2a and 2b: OHTAC recommendation
Ontario Health Technology Advisory Committee
Record ID 32014000658
English
Authors' recommendations:
Based on the available evidence:
• OHTAC recommends standardizing the practice, design, and education related to the administration of multiple IV infusions to mitigate associated risks. Specifically, OHTAC recommends the adoption of the 12 interventions indicated by the HumanEra field evaluations relating to the:
– setup and programming of multiple primary continuous infusions
– identification of an infusion
– management of dead volume
– setup of secondary intermittent infusions
– administration of IV pump boluses
• OHTAC recommends that HQO and HumanEra develop an implementation strategy to facilitate the adoption of these interventions by the health system and establish key performance indicators to evaluate adherence to safe practice.
