hey everyone! I have a ? about mini infusers. Well I had one a few weeks ago in clinicals and I had a IVPB and a primary going. I connected the IVBP to the port above the pump and the mini infuser to the port closest to the patient. I moved the IVPB higher and put in the rate/ml and pressed run IVPB. Then I turned on the mini infuser. It was right bc my instructor didn't say otherwise I was just making sure that the IVBP and a mini infuser could be runned at the same time?? I didn't know this prior and also another ? when the mini infuser and IVBP are finished does it automatically switch over to the primary? If there was no primary going would the pump just turn off or what? Thanks!!

I'm not really sure what a mini infuser is....is that the same thing as a syringe pump?
