Abstract
A new programmable syringe infusion pump, Auto Syringe Model AS 40 A, was evaluated for infusion of muscle relaxants, vasodilators and opioids in 4 surgical patients. Every drug mentioned above was easily adjusted according to surgical requirement in these patients. Auto Syringe Model AS40A is light and compact. Its major advantages lie in the mechanisms for delivery of a bolus dose and automated delivery of intermittent doses, automatic rate calculation, and the applicability to various sizes of syringes. Auto Syringe Model AS40A was found to be very useful for intravenous infusion of drugs.
