Speed of transfusion

(1/4) > >>

Dori:
Hello Forum,

I would like to hear what the speed of the pump is during your bloodtransfusion. I also want to know how long you let them flush the line. How many ml's and what's the colour of the line? Is it completely transparent? Is it good to receive so many fluid from the flushing proces? Should you alsk for Lasix?

My answers:
The speed of the pump during my blood transfusion is 90ml/h and that is 3 hours of one bag. I let them do flushing the line a bit faster at the end, because most of the times they want to have it completely transparent?
I have tried to do it faster in the past, but I passed out.

Ironman:
I regulate the speed myself, so sometimes its fast(30-45min/bag) other times its a bit slower(90 mins/bag).

We dont flush the line after blood here, but with other medicine they flush the line till theres only saline in it...

Dore,

I can't tell you the exact speed but its approx 90 minutes per bag,give or take a few minutes.They don't flush the line,just the canula in the beginning.Lil Z never got Lasix,they juist give her an anti allergy in the beginning,to prevent any reactions.

Zaini.

Emby:
200mls per hour...and only sometimes they are flushed through the cannula.

Tedi:
In Bulgaria i have one bag from 1.30-2hours i usually have 2 bags.I like it slow.We flush the line.

When I make my bt in Greece i have one bag for 3 hours, and they dont flush the line.
