A syringe pump is a medical device used to deliver precise amounts of fluids, such as medications or nutrients, to patients. It works by pushing a syringe plunger at a controlled rate, allowing for accurate dosing over time. Syringe pumps are commonly used in hospitals and clinics for patients who require continuous or intermittent infusion of drugs. These devices are particularly useful in critical care settings, where maintaining specific drug levels is essential. They can be programmed to deliver different flow rates and volumes, making them versatile for various treatments. Healthcare professionals rely on syringe pumps to enhance patient safety and improve treatment outcomes.
