Basic Principles and Clinical Skills: Using an Alaris Pump
This is a BASIC video just trying to show you some of the principles behind utilizing an Alaris IV pump. It is meant to be more laid-back and relaxed versus focused on detailed step-by-step instructions.
Always check with your instructor and see what their expectations may be for this skill.

Im saving this video! I had my clinical rotation in the ED today. I was a little nervous with the pump but my instructor helped me along. This video will be great as a refresher, thank you!

So glad it helped!
Really liked your presentation because you didn't cover over the problems that occurred during set up. Because of that, I was able to understand how to troubleshoot my pump when I was doing setup. Thanks for a clear, concise, and easy to understand video!

Thank you, was very helpful! Do you have a video that shows how to hook up other channels and how to run fluids at the same time?

Hi! So glad it was helpful! Think this is the only one about pumps I have. I don’t have the same access to a pump I had before to practice and create videos with an actual pump but if I can help some other way in the future let me know ❤️
Great
As a new grad baby nurse on a med-surg floor, this helped me so much! It’s difficult to learn intricate details like this while working on the floor. Would you mind possibly making a video about figuring out and charting I&O’s, especially when it comes to a patient receiving continuous IV fluids? For some reason I have a hard time with that. I would appreciate all the help!! Thank you again for this video!!

@@lexikingston525 thanks! I am not familiar with that charting system- what part of I/O do you struggle with the most? See how I can help? Is there some sort of calculations you have to do? Where I work the system is automated and adds everything together itself

@@mrs.woodruff Honestly, as I was typing out an example to give you to explain my issue, I answered my own question. 😂 I’m sorry for this confusion! I guess it took me typing it out to understand it. All in all, your videos are extremely helpful. Thank you for being so willing to help me!
The pump issues you were having would have been great troubleshooting teaching opportunities.

Re gravity: Does this model not require the secondary to be hung higher than the primary while the secondary is infusing? Thank you
@mrs.woodruff

I am not an expert on this model. If something is being given gravity (not through the pump) it usually does need a different height or the primary can back up into the secondary. However if you’re giving it through the pump I’ve generally found it usually does not have to have a different height. Hope this helps ❤️
Hi can I ask for any manual or document which can help me more to understand servicing these pumls please.
