    Abstract:
    Several types of portable infusion devices are now available, allowing patients to receive continuous parenteral narcotics at home. Six of the most commonly used pumps in Canada are presented. Various features of the pumps are compared including cost, flow rate, bolus capability, ease of operation, medication preparation and safety. Consideration of all these factors should aid an institution in selecting a narcotic infusion device.
