Components of Insulin Pumps
Infusion Set
Reservoir
(for insulin)
Very thin cannula
in subcutaneous tissue

How Does a Pump Work?





Reservoir is filled with rapid acting insulin
Infusion set—
 administers insulin SQ 24 hours/day
 often placed in the abdomen, thigh or hip/buttock area
 patient can disconnect pump from the infusion set and reconnect
later (exception: disposable pumps)
Pump programmed to administer—
 Basal – continuous rate/hour to maintain glucose control when
NOT eating
 Prandial – bolus per patient for nutrition intake
 Correction – bolus per patient for high glucose
Patient should NOT be disconnected from the pump for more than
1 to 2 hours

Summary



Know the type of diabetes for which your patient has
been diagnosed
Assess glucoses regularly perioperatively
Know what medication your patient takes for glucose
management



What medication and dose was taken evening prior and the
day of surgery
Assess if your patient has experienced hypoglycemia
overnight prior and the day of surgery
If your patient uses a CSII, collaborate with the
perioperative team for safe use with surgery
