Performance of the On‐Q pain infusion device during changes in environmental temperature

Abstract: This preliminary investigation demonstrates what may be clinically significant changes in output from the On-Q pain device based on the external temperature. These alterations in flow could result in inadequate analgesia or even potentially toxicity if these devices are used in smaller patients especially the pediatric population.

“…This increased pressure was felt with a tactile sensation as the devices were overfilled by hand using a 60 ml syringe. However, as we previously reported, the On‐Q pump (in the settings of normal fill – control group 2 and 150% overfill – overfill group 2) delivered a significantly higher output per hour than the set rate during the first 8 h . The output from the On‐Q normal fill group (control group 2) for the first, second, third, and fourth 2‐h periods was respectively 65%, 46.5%, 36.5%, and 22% above the expected 20 ml for each of the 2‐h intervals.…”

“…This is likely because the main determinant of flow is the resistance of the controller device which is used to set the desired rate. We have also previously demonstrated no change in the infusion characteristics of these devices related to changes in the environmental temperature or when the external pressure is altered during hyperbaric exposure .…”

“…Les diffuseurs Easypump ST ® et Intermate SV ® , souvent portés dans un étui placé à la ceinture, sont conçus pour être utilisés à température ambiante (20 à 21 • C) et donc calibrés à cette température, contrairement aux diffuseurs Easypump LT ® ou aux diffuseurs Infusor ® qui sont des DP « longue durée » et qui sont calibrés à la température de la peau puisque le régulateur de débit localisé à l'extrémité de la tubulure du diffuseur doit être positionné contre la peau du patient (31 à 33 • C). Le travail expérimental in vitro de Coley et al [24] a permis également de mettre en évidence le rôle important joué par la température ambiante : pour le glucose 5 % pendant les deux premières heures d'écoulement, le débit, augmenté de 14 ± 49 % par rapport au débit nominal de calibration à 25 • C, est augmenté de 37 ± 28 % à 35 • C. Des observations similaires ont été obtenues par Burnett et al [25] dans leur travail portant sur le diffuseur élastomérique On-Q ® utilisé pour les analgésies loco-régionales. Il est donc primordial de veiller au retour à température ambiante de la solution à administrer lorsque celle-ci a été préalablement placée au réfrigérateur.…”
