1 (Need to )know actual clinical use of volumetric pumps 2 Consult the Guide for IV administration with associated clinical surveillance (GIVACS) 3 (From the GIVACS) identify the medications absolutely requiring a volumetric pump; 4 (From the GIVACS) identify drugs that can be safely administrated with other technological methods (gravity, mini-infusion pump, syringe pump, ambulatory pump, patient controlled administration, injection); 5 Consult the collective directive for the installation of an injection plug if the solute is prescribed in keep vein open (KVO) infusion mode; 6 With a team of seven individuals, inventory of our park of volumetric pumps in 30 min (consider the mobility of these devices); 7 Prepare a consultation platform of the care units to determine their effective infusion practice; Vancouver, May 21-23, 2014 6 M ETHODOLOGY

Slide 7

8 Collect data from these care units with the platform to get an idea of the current medications administration practice and to identify the gaps with the GIVACS; 9 From the information gathered, identify in accordance with the pharmacy and the concerned nursing units, how many volumetric pumps are used instead of the proper infusion technique, according to the GIVACS instructions; 10 Based on the number and frequency of medications used on each unit with volumetric pumps, calculate a weighted Pump/Medication ratio to take into consideration the actualized need of volumetric pumps on each nursing unit; 11 This ratio will help determine for the two-year period, if there are Too many, Acceptable or Less pumps on the unit; 12 Submit a report of our consultations to a Multidisciplinary Committee composed of clinical and medical directorates, and purchasing services.

1 This study brought together all local expertise in intravenous therapy to establish a contingency plan based on current best practices in IV therapy 2 The decision tree is planned to be part of the continuing education of nurses to maintain IV best practices standards at CSSS LDDM 4 Another CSSS which benefited from our approach has told us about its successful application 5 We share our experience, hoping it will help to better manage the two-year waiting in other Quebec CSSS and hospitals across Canada 6 The success of this approach requires that any volumetric pump transferred with a patient to another care unit will return to its original unit. This remains a perpetual challenge with infusion pumps in any hospital. Vancouver, May 21-23, 2014 21 C ONCLUSION

We thank the following members of the multidisciplinary team and managers whose involvement has led to develop the decision tree for IV therapy at CSSS LDDM. Medical units Michelle Dufour, Jacob Lalanne, and Nathalie Comtois Surgery Mlissa Pag, and Jocelyne Sanscartier Counselors in nursing Chantal Laperriere, and Dany Maheux. Their contribution has helped make more realistic the application of this IV therapy decision tree, facilitating thus its clinical acceptability. Vancouver, May 21-23, 2014 22 A CKNOWLEDGMENTS
