infusion pump
An infusion pump is a medical device used to deliver fluids, such as medications or nutrients, directly into a patient's bloodstream. It allows for precise control over the flow rate and dosage, ensuring that patients receive the correct amount of treatment over a specified period. Infusion pumps are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings.
These devices can be programmed to administer continuous infusions or deliver medication in specific intervals. They are essential for managing various medical conditions, including pain management, chemotherapy, and hydration therapy. The use of infusion pumps enhances patient safety and improves treatment outcomes.
