CARE OF THE HOSPITALIZED PATIENT WITH AN INSULIN PUMP

  • DIABETES CHAMPIONS MEETING

  • JULY 20, 2009


NORMAL PANCREATIC FUNCTIONING

  • Insulin is delivered in 2 rates in the normal functioning pancreas:

    • BASAL = continual rate; background insulin; it’s the amount of insulin required to maintain a normal metabolic state when not eating
    • BOLUS = extra insulin produced for meals or hyperglycemia
  • The normal glucose and insulin process is depicted on the next two slides.



GLUCOSE & INSULIN PROCESS





GENERAL POINTS ABOUT USING INSULIN PUMPS:

  • Insulin pump is another delivery device for insulin.

  • It is often called CSII – Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion.

  • Through the pump, insulin can be delivered in the 2 rates to closely mimic the normal functioning pancreas:

    • BASAL (units/hour)
    • BOLUS (amount of units give at one time)
  • Fast acting insulin (Novolog, Humalog, Apidra) is ONLY used.



GUIDELINES FOR CARING FOR THE HOSPITALIZED PATIENT WITH AN INSULIN PUMP

  • Patient needs to be alert enough to manage the pump when inpatient.

  • Patient is to bring his own pump supplies; hospital can provide insulin.

    • Patient is to change out the pump, insulin, and site every 3 days
  • Obtain written physician order to use pump while in the hospital.

  • Place Insulin Pump Standing Orders form in the Orders section of the chart.

  • Send a referral to the Diabetes & Nutrition Center to see insulin pump patient.

    • Diabetes Educator will obtain all the rates, check the pump and complete the Insulin Pump Standing Orders.
  • MAR is to have all the rates listed on it.



GUIDELINES FOR CARING FOR THE HOSPITALIZED PATIENT WITH AN INSULIN PUMP

  • Leave pump in place unless otherwise ordered

    • If it is taken off, the patient can not be off insulin longer than an hour
    • If pump is taken off, give to the patient’s family and DOCUMENT THAT
    • IV insulin or long acting insulin can be used when patient is off the pump
  • At least AC & HS monitoring is needed for a pump patient; at times ~0300

  • Insulin pump must be removed during any x-ray, MRI, scan, etc. (not to be in same room; it is not necessary to suspend it)

    • After test, immediately hook up pump
    • If Omnipod, the POD has to be taken off; a new one with new insulin will need to be put on after the test
  • Know how to give a bolus (follow the prompts on the pump screen)
