Constant rate infusions keep a drug at a steady level in the blood, and it is often the nurse’s job to calculate and run them. This webinar explains what a CRI is, when CRIs are used, from analgesia and blood pressure support to insulin and nutrition, and the different ways to make one up: undiluted, added to the patient’s IV fluids, or run separately so the rate can be adjusted.
Presented by Anneka Pierzga as part of the ACVN webinar series.
Includes the full recording (38 minutes), the presentation slides as a PDF, and a quiz. Pass the quiz to receive a certificate worth 1 AVNAT point.

It then works step by step through a metoclopramide CRI for a dog after foreign body surgery, first undiluted in a syringe pump and then added to a bag of IV fluids. It finishes with how to prepare and label the fluid bag so the drug rate is not changed by mistake.
