INFUSION PUMP

Description

An infusion pump is a medical device used to deliver fluids, such as medications or nutrients, into a patient’s body in a controlled manner.

There are several types of infusion pumps, including:

• Volumetric Pumps: These deliver large volumes of fluid and are often used for hydration, nutrition, and medication administration.
• Syringe Pumps: These use a syringe to deliver small, precise amounts of fluid, making them ideal for medications that require accurate dosing.
• Elastomeric Pumps: These use a stretchable balloon reservoir to deliver fluids and are often used for pain management and chemotherapy.
• Patient-Controlled Analgesia (PCA) Pumps: These allow patients to self-administer pain medication within preset limits, providing better pain control.
