DIY infusion pump with Peristaltic Dosing Pump for propofol or thiopental sodium

[kufajoy]

I used
XY-J02 as timer (setted 2 min run then stop. No loop)
12 Peristaltic Dosing Pump
12v PWM speed controller for controlling flow rate
Infusion set
20g cannula

Generally flow rate about 80ml per minute but with 20g cannula it's lower maybe 18g cannula will give more flow rate. Currently I don't have 18g to test. But ig it could be more then enough for a peaceful exist.(50ml propofol per minutes is already super high risk. If I use it ig I will take sn first then start this device) Maybe it will be best to insert cannula on cephalic vein because it's larger size and easy to access and injecting lidocaine iv might be better idea before injecting propofol. Otherwise it might burn as hell. I will test this pump with a normal saline and update.

Was contemplating using a pressure bag setup with propofol and fent. My concern is that the pressure may blow my veins before the administration is complete. Only ever really pressure bagged fluids into central lines so I dont know how peripheral veins would hold up.

Ig using 22g cannula with 1000ml pressure bag won't blow cephalic vein. But hey nothing is risk free. My plan has sn too. You might want to add another layer for maximum success rate. But I will still prefer a diy infusion pump, the one I made over a pressure bag.
