Infusioonimeetodit

Infusioonimeetodit is a term that generally refers to methods of introducing fluids or medications into the body intravenously. This process is crucial in modern medicine for delivering a wide range of treatments, from simple hydration to complex chemotherapy regimens. The core principle involves inserting a needle or catheter into a vein, allowing for a controlled and direct passage of substances into the bloodstream. This bypasses the digestive system, ensuring faster absorption and higher bioavailability of the administered agents.

Several types of infusioonimeetodit exist, varying in complexity and application. The most common is peripheral venous infusion, where a needle is inserted into a vein in the arm or hand for short-term treatments. For longer-term or more intensive therapies, central venous catheters may be used. These are inserted into larger veins, often in the neck, chest, or groin, and can remain in place for extended periods. Different infusion devices, such as infusion pumps, are employed to regulate the rate and volume of fluid delivery, ensuring precise dosing and patient safety. The choice of infusioonimeetodit depends on the specific medication, the patient's condition, and the duration of treatment required. This method is indispensable for managing acute illnesses, chronic conditions, and providing supportive care.
