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!

    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!

    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!!

    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

    @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 ❤️
