An inside-the-needle catheter.venous access deviceA specially designed catheter for gaining and maintaining access to the venous system. This device provides access for patients who require intravenous fluids or medications for several days or more, e.g., those having a bone marrow transplant or who are receiving long-term total parenteral nutrition. See: venous port See: illustrationventricular assist device Abbreviation: VAD A pump to treat heart failure. It helps the ventricles to contract and move blood to the lungs and/or the aorta. See: left ventricular assist device
electronic infusion device Abbreviation: EID A device for monitoring intravenous infusions. The device may have an alarm in case the flow is restricted because of an occlusion of the line. In that case, the alarm will sound when a preset pressure limit is sensed. The device can also signal that an infusion is close to completion. The pressure is regulated by the height at which the container is positioned above the level of the heart when the patient is lying flat. A height of 36 in (91 cm) provides a pressure of 1.3 lb/sq in (70 mm Hg). Most EIDs are equipped to stop the flow of the infused liquid if accidental free flow occurs.

electroimmunodiffusion (i-lek″trō-im″yŭ-nō-dif-ū′zhŏn, i-im-ū-nō-) [ electro- + immunodiffusion], EIDA laboratory method of identifying antigens in the blood by creating an artificial antigen-antibody reaction.
