Safe use of syringe pumps

An FDA safety communication on syringe pumps (http://wayback.archive-it.org/7993/20171115052211/https:/www.fda.gov/Med...) called attention to serious consequences of incorrect use and the need for clinicians to better understand their limitations. There is a recent interprofessional discussion on the nuances of syringe pumps that may lead to unexpected medication delivery. Best practice recommendations are provided for ensuring desired infusions.. http://elearning.ashp.org/products/8373/
