Brief Summary

Primary endpoint In 30 cases using a syringe pump, the mean preparation time was 8.87 minutes and the exposure time was 3 minutes on average. The preparation time took longer as the number of syringes dispensed, and the preparation time per syringe averaged 2.93 minutes. In 30 cases using a cylinder pump, the preparation time averaged 6.46 minutes and the exposure time averaged 3 minutes. Unlike syringe pumps, the cylindrical pump does not require dispensing, so the preparation time per piece was not relevant. As a result of the F equal variance test of the preparation time result values ??of the syringe pump and the cylinder pump, the p value showed heteroscedasticity as <0.0001. The preparation time was analyzed by two-variance t-test for heterogeneous families. As a result, it was confirmed that the cylinder pump takes significantly less time than the syringe pump in preparation time (p <0.01). As a result of the F equal variance test of the exposure time result values ??of the syringe pump and the cylinder pump, the p value showed <0.01 heterodispersion. The exposure time was analyzed by two-group t-test with heteroscedastic assumption. As a result, there was no statistical difference between the cylinder pump and the syringe pump in the exposure time. Secondary endpoint Two-group t-test analysis was performed on the number of syringe changes for 24 hours in the syringe pump and the number of cartridge changes for 24 hours in the cylindrical pump. As a result, the number of replacements of the cylindrical pump was significantly smaller than that of the syringe pump (p <0.00001).
