Level One Rapid Infuser/Massive Transfusion Presented by: JonnaBobeck BSN, RN, CEN
Describe purpose of Level One Rapid Infuser • Discuss set up and use • Explain patient preparation and assessment • Describe troubleshooting • Discuss massive transfusion Objectives
Warm and quickly infuse large amounts of blood and/or fluids Introduction
Aseptic technique • Proper device use • Crystalloid and colloid solutions • Sequelae of massive transfusion and fluid resuscitation Prerequisite Knowledge
Level one infuser • Disposable fluid administration sets • IV fluids or blood products as prescribed • Non sterile gloves • Large bore IV access times 3 • Monitoring equipment Equipment
Vital signs • LOC • Core temperature • Lab values • IV patency Patient Assessment
Patient and family teaching • Minimum 2 large bore IV sites • Monitor BP, SPO2, Cardiac rhythm • Warm patient • Foley catheter • Obtain blood sample • ABG Patient Preparation
Remove air from fluid bag • Close clamps of administration set • Spike bag • Open clamps and invert drip chamber to fill ½ full • Prime the rest of the line • Gas vent will self prime (gently tap against the level one cabinet to release trapped air) Priming
Flip toggle switch to “-” position • Push heat exchanger in to socket 1 • Slide top socket and snap heat exchanger into number 2 • Place gas vent into number 3 Procedure
Clamp • Turn off • Replace bag • Close door • Turn on and resume infusion Changing Bags
Disposable light • Water level light • Overtemp alarm Troubleshooting Alarms
Vital signs • Core temperature • IV integrity • Hemodynamic parameters • Urine output Patient Monitoring
Purpose: low blood volume due to hemorrrhage Massive Transfusions
Hypotension • Major obvious blood loss • Continued bleeding • Surgeries where there is high risk of blood loss Process for Utilization
Physician responsibility • Nurse responsibility • Blood bank Initiation of MTP
Clinical coordinator • Nursing Responsibilities
Hct of 27-30% • INR < 1.7 seconds • Fibrinogen > 100mg/dl • Platelet count of > 100,000/dl • Core temperature of > 35 degrees Celsius Goals for Hemostasis
