Thank you. It's a class for nursin students. My only other question is about mini-infusers and armboards.

Thank you.

I'm preparing to teach an IV therapy class and need your help. Are you using mini-infusers or armboards in your practice? If so, where? Acute care, extended care, clinic...? Also, are you using separate filters for TPN, lipids, and blood products or are they all packaged together and/or inline? Are pall filters still being used? I would love to hear from as many people and sub specialties of nursing as possible. Thanks.

I appreciate your response. I would love to hear from as many nurses as possible. Thank you.

To be more specific, I am teaching IV therapy in a nursing program for the first time. We don't often use mini-infusers or armboards in our local clinical sites so I'm trying to find out who might be using them. I want to continue teaching them if they are being used. Personally, I love mini-infusers. Tpn and blood filters are packaged together in this area. I was curious to see if anyone was having to order filters separately and if any other filters were being used. Maybe this is not the correct site to ask these questions. If so, please suggest a more appropriate place.

Who is using mini infusers and for whom? Who is using armboards and when? Who is adding filters and for what? Thanks very much.
