A second nurse “double-checked” the insulin label for correctness and saw a pump correctly programmed. The nurse programs the pumps and then places the insulin infusion into one pumpp the primary infusion on the second pump. all the way from the bag to the patient this error might have been caught before the infusion was started.Ī nurse in the ED received an order for an insulin infusion.
Had she “traced” her lines.which includes a review of the pump settings. But she mistakenly programmed the pitocin infusion pump for the rate of the primary IV and the primary IV for the rate of the pitocin causing the patient to recieve an excessive infusion of the pitocin.

Even though soft contact lenses dominate the market, gas permeable (GP) lenses remain essential for many patients, providing superior optics, durability, higher oxygen transmissibility and a lower propensity for surface deposits and microbial inoculations within the GP lens matrix.Īlthough great care is taken to ensure that all information is accurate, it is recommended that readers seek independent verification of advice on drugs and other product usage, surgical techniques and clinical processes prior to their use. Modern specialty lenses, especially scleral-fit GP lenses, offer better outcome expectations for patients with a wide range of visual and clinical needs-from optical rehabilitation in patients with corneal irregularities to therapeutic protection in patients with dry eye and other ocular surface diseases. 1,2 As such, global clinical trends demonstrate a growing rate of GP contact lens use. 3-5 This finding especially holds true for scleral lenses specifically. While specialty lenses are becoming more popular, fitting them can sometimes intimidate clinicians who are less familiar with custom designs.
This is primarily due to the perceived extensive chair time and potential patient discomfort with corneal GP lenses. However, as corneal GP technology advances, new lens designs-like the design of a scleral lens, for example-make it possible to improve initial lens comfort and reduce adaptation time. The on-eye position and associated fitting characteristics of scleral lenses are heavily influenced by the corneo-conjunctival junction angle and scleral shape profile. Consequently, if a scleral GP cannot be customized to align with these anatomical features, fitting- and vision-related adverse reactions may develop. 6 To make matters worse, slit lamp findings alone do not usually offer sufficient clinical clues for clinicians who are looking to take advantage of the latest lens customization concepts.įortunately, numerous technologies are available to help overcome some of these challenges and deliver optimal results.
This article walks through five key steps clinicians should take to successfully complete a specialty contact lens fitting and explains how several newer diagnostic instruments can be clinically helpful for novices and veterans alike. Strictly speaking, you do not need any of these devices to be successful with scleral lenses in a number of routine cases.
