Syringe Pump Training

Session Overview

How to use, operate and manage syringe pumps (McKinley T34 Version 2 and the BodyGuard T).

This training is suitable for registered nurses who are either familiar with syringe pumps and require an update, or registered nurses who are unfamiliar and need to work through a learning/competency checklist.

The training incorporates a presentation on the use of the syringe pumps, including drugs used, and a practical and/or video demonstration of setting up and managing the pump/infusion. There is an opportunity to take part in simulation around setting up a syringe pump on training held face to face.

(Please note from April 25 the McKinley T34 will cease to be serviced and repaired by BD.)
