The purpose of this study was to experimentally assess the effect of a one touch clamp and rack smart pump on the time needed for patient mobilisation and the clinical staff`s perceived burden associated with these procedures when compared with the traditional type infusion system. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Multi-layer rack group (MULTI), One-touch pole clamp group (ONE), and a Control group (CON). In CON, traditional type pumps were replaced from pole stands to pole stands. In MULTI, the smart pumps were replaced from multi-layer rack to multi-layer rack, and in ONE the smart pumps were replaced from pole stands to multi-layer rack. In each group, the subject round-transported the simulated patient and re-replaced the pumps. The time of both pump replacements and the transport time were significantly shorter in MULTI and ONE compared with CON (p
