Abstract

Many kinds of infusion devices are commercially available in Japan. In order to prevent medical accidents, the Juntendo University Hospital chose a closed infusion device made of polyvinyl chloride.<BR>This study compares a complete kit and the manual preparation of closed infusion devices to clarify their efficiency and cost effects.<BR>The study results show that using a closed infusion device kit reduces preparation time per single set from 96.1±22.4 to 55.8±12.0 seconds and per day from 97.0±22.0 to 22.0±3.0 minutes. This suggests that an introduction of a complete kit actually saves personnel work duration and in that sense expenses as well, however, the cost for using a kit was 1, 283, 424 yen more expensive per month than that for manual preparations.<BR>Further analysis is required to clarify cost effectiveness in preventing medical incidences and catheter related infections in clinical settings.
