infusionspumper

Infusionspumper, also known as infusion pumps or medical pumps, are devices used to deliver fluids, medications, or nutrients into a patient's body in a controlled manner. They are a common piece of medical equipment found in hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare settings. The primary function of an infusionspumpe is to precisely regulate the rate and volume of fluid being administered, ensuring patient safety and treatment efficacy.

These devices work by using a mechanical mechanism to push a fluid from a reservoir, such as a bag or syringe, through an administration set and into the patient's circulatory system or another designated location. Different types of infusionspumper exist, including syringe pumps, which use a motor to drive a syringe plunger, and peristaltic pumps, which use rollers to compress a flexible tube. Volumetric pumps are another category, designed to deliver a set volume of fluid over a specific period.

Infusionspumper are utilized for a wide range of medical applications. They are essential for administering intravenous (IV) medications, such as antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, pain relievers, and insulin. They can also be used for enteral feeding, delivering nutrition directly into the digestive tract, and for subdermal or epidural infusions. The accuracy and programmability of these pumps allow healthcare professionals to tailor treatments to individual patient needs, minimizing the risk of under- or over-dosing. Modern infusionspumper often feature advanced safety mechanisms, including alarms for occlusions, air in the line, and infusion completion, further enhancing patient care.
