Infúzia

Infúzia is a medical procedure involving the gradual introduction of fluids into a patient's body, typically intravenously. This method is used for various purposes, including administering medications, rehydrating patients, providing nutritional support, or delivering blood products. The fluids are usually delivered from a bag or bottle containing the solution, which is connected to a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. An infusion pump may be used to control the rate and volume of the fluid entering the bloodstream, ensuring precise dosage and delivery.

The process of infúzia requires careful monitoring to prevent complications such as infection, phlebitis (inflammation of the vein), or fluid overload. Healthcare professionals, such as nurses and doctors, are responsible for preparing the infusion, inserting the catheter, and overseeing the entire process. The type of fluid or medication administered via infúzia depends on the patient's specific medical condition and needs. Common examples include saline solutions for hydration, antibiotics for infections, chemotherapy drugs for cancer treatment, and pain relievers. Infúzia can be performed in various healthcare settings, from hospitals and clinics to home care environments, depending on the complexity and duration of the treatment.
