Abstract: Appropriate management of flow rate during infusion is essential. Only a few studies have quantitatively investigated the flow rate errors resulting from infusion temperature control. The aim of this study was to investigate the variation in flow rate accuracy caused by different infusion temperature managements using a gravimetric method to measure the actual flow rates. The results showed that the actual flow rate of the heated infusions was significantly lower than that of room-temperature infusions, consistent with the findings of previous studies.
