Study Summary

This trial tests the effectiveness of two different IV infusion pumps to reduce air bubbles and the alarm they can trigger.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult patients in the Surgical ICU receiving IV infusions who, or whose surrogates, have given written consent. It excludes those who haven't consented, children under 18 years old, pregnant individuals, and prisoners.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if the ivAED device can reduce 'air-in-line' alarms during IV infusion by comparing two pumps: Braun Infusomat Space P and Becton-Dickenson Alaris model 8100 (current standard at Keck Hospital).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a device to improve IV infusion rather than a drug, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be technical issues with the device that could affect infusion accuracy.
