Hi Is it not easier to get another pump? just curious

[SR]

Just a tip, instead of priming the secondary line before you connect it to the primary line, you can connect the secondary line first, then lower the mini bag to about your hip to back flow NS into the line, that way you aren’t wasting medication.

[cathepar]

Can you actually explain the use of the settings in the pump thanks

[sonnyman]

would backflushing be preferred that way you are not wasting medication?

[Grannn]

You said, Hi, I'm Ellis :)

But the video is informative, thanks 🙏

[sharitap]

I wish the camera was focused on the machine

[yubinjjang]

Is the primary line closed while side drip is infusing?

[ItsMaricruz]

I’ve never used the little hook that comes with the secondary line tubing packages because the pump allows me to program which line I’m infusing, either A or B, so when would I use the hook?

[tonyas]

This didn't clear up anything for me about piggy backing 😢

[noelleabra]

Thank you for not back priming. In nursing school, they don't allow us to back prime for skills.
