gyógyszerinfúzió

Gyógyszerinfúzió is the Hungarian term for drug infusion or medication infusion. It refers to the administration of medicinal substances into the body by intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous routes, typically over a period of time rather than as a single bolus dose. This method is commonly employed for delivering medications that require precise control over their concentration in the bloodstream, or for drugs that would be poorly tolerated if given all at once.

The process involves a solution containing the medication, which is then delivered using an infusion pump or by gravity. Infusion pumps allow for precise control over the rate and volume of fluid delivered, which is crucial for certain medications, such as chemotherapy agents or vasopressors. Gravity-fed infusions are simpler and often used for less critical medications or when precise rate control is not paramount.

Drug infusions are utilized in a wide range of medical settings, including hospitals, clinics, and even in home healthcare. They are essential for treating various conditions, such as infections requiring long-term antibiotic therapy, pain management, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, and delivering complex medications like insulin or blood products. The duration of an infusion can vary from minutes to days, depending on the specific drug and the patient's medical needs. Monitoring the patient during an infusion is important to ensure efficacy and to detect any adverse reactions.
