750 mL/min with 14 G catheter

100
When should you turn on Belmont machine?
After you have spiked normal saline and inserted tubing into machine
100

Flow error alarm response

Check for occlusion or kinked tubing

100

How long is tubing good for?

24 hours

100

What would be the indications for using the Belmont?

Trauma, OB hemorrhage, OR 

200

Flow rate at a pressure of 200 mmHg

400-500 mL/min

200

How many times will you prime the line?

(2) 

1 to prime the line with normal saline 

2 to remove air before attaching to patient

200

Most common alarm type

Pressure

What blood product would you NEVER run through Belmont

Platelets

200

What supplemental infusion should be given when administering massive transfusion using Belmont?

Calcium because of the citrated preservative in blood products

300

Typical rate with an 18 gauge catheter

250-350 mL/min

300

What is the approximate priming volume?

400 mL NS

300

Display Reads: Infusing-Pressure Control

1. Use large gauged catheter, make sure you are going straight to the hub, no extension tubing

2) Press "Set Rate" to bring set rate into range with the actual rate to decrease line pressure

300

Can you run PRBC and plasma back-to-back without flushing with NS

YES

300

What do you connect the end of the Belmont tubing to?

Directly to the catheter, remove extension set

400
What would a smaller gauge catheter impact?

Decreases flow rate

400

What is the default set rate?

200 mL/min

400

What is the default pressure alarm limit?

300 mmHg

400

If the Belmont is unplugged, what function will you no longer have?

Heating
400

When would you utilize the "recirculate" function of the Belmont? 

Example: Transporting patient to CT

Recirculate prevents blood products from clotting when you have to pause the transfusion

5-minute duration

500

If you select the "bolus" option what 2 numbers will be displayed in the "volume" square? 

the top number is the bolus value, and the bottom number is the volume delivered, counting up from 0- the volume set. 
500

How many nurses should be running the Belmont?

1 nurse and should be their only job

500

Where are some of the most common places for the tubing to be kinked? 

1) the Reservoir Chamber will have slid down and kinked at the interlock block

2) The tubing that comes out of the Belmont machine will be closed in the door and kinked

500

What commonly use fluid is NOT compatible with Belmont and blood products

Lactated Ringers

How long will the battery of the Belmont last if it is not plugged in?

30 minutes
