basal rate

Also found in: Wikipedia.

basal rate

A generic term for any baseline level of secretion or production of a particular substance.

basal rate

In patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), the amount of pain reliever that is infused independent of any demands made by the patient.

Patient care

The basal rate of drug infusion in PCA is often set at zero to ensure that all doses of pain medication are dictated by the patient's individual needs for pain control. High basal rates may occasionally result in narcotic overdose. Basal rates above zero are used under carefully controlled circumstances to facilitate rest or sleep.

But the technique has not been applied extensively to non-human primate studies.Previous researches have paid more attentionto the basal rate of metabolism and resting metabolic rates in non-human primate's metabolic researches (Schmid and Ganzhorn, 1996; Genoud et al., 1997; Genoud, 2002; KAlin et al., 2003; Power et al., 2003).
