ElastoMeric Infusion Pumps for Hospital AntibioTICs

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Special pumps called self-deflating Elastomeric Pumps (EMPs) will be tested for giving antibiotics via a drip to hospital patients. EMPs are filled with antibiotics, attached to a "drip" (usually in the arm) and worn on the body, slowly giving antibiotics through the day. EMPs are often used to give antibiotics to patients in their own home but they have not been used to treat patients in hospital before, so a small study of 10 patients will be conducted to see if a full scale clinical trial is worthwhile. EMPs will be tested for ease of use and safety in hospital, and to find out what staff and patients think about them. The pilot will be done to see if a clinical trial would be good value for money by comparing time spent in hospital, nursing time and overall cost to the NHS of the two ways of giving antibiotics to patients.
