Understanding Infusion Pump: Types, Operation, and Applications

Slide Note

Infusion pumps are crucial devices used to deliver therapeutic fluids, including medications and nutrients, at controlled rates. They come in various types, such as syringe pumps and multi-channel pumps, each serving specific needs in medical therapy. These devices offer precise control over fluid delivery, contributing to improved patient care in critical settings. Explore the diverse world of infusion pumps and their applications in modern healthcare.

Table Contents Definition Introduction Types of Infusion Pump Why Infusion Pump? Conclusion 2

Definition Infusion Infusion Pump are devices that are used to deliver therapeutic fluids which can be either medication or nutrients at a predetermined rate 3

Introduction Over the years there has been lot of research on these Infusion Pump resulting in several varieties of Infusion Pump giving more and more control on the volume and time of fluid to be delivered. Overall they can be divided in two sub-groups i.e. electronically operated infusion device and Gravity operated infusion device. 4

Introduction There are various types of infusion pump designed with a view to serve different purpose of therapy but it is important that the Infusion Pump selected can deliver the fluids at desired rate and volume. Electronic operated infusion device has a microchip that controls the delivery of fluid while gravity controlled device have regulator that operates as clamp to vary the flow rate. 5

Types of Infusion Pump Syringe Infusion Pump can deliver drugs even in very small doses, 0.1ml per hour to 200 ml per hour. These Infusion Pump have a smooth delivery over the entire period. Some syringe Infusion Pump accuracy might appear in terms of displacement of piston. Syringe Pump: 6

Types of Infusion Pump Often in critical care; a therapist might fell the need of delivering more than one drug to the patient and a desired flow rate. These multi-channel Infusion Pump have an advantage of administering more than one fluid delivery at different flow rates. Advanced Multi-channel Infusion Pump: 7

Types of Infusion Pump Some manufacturers also describe these Infusion Pump as roller Infusion Pump. The pump has an advantage to deliver high volume of fluid at precise administered rate where other Infusion Pump might have limited or no use at all. Volumetric Infusion Pump: 8

Types of Infusion Pump Ambulatory Infusion Pump are devices that are very small and portable. With recent advancement in medical sciences, there are situations when the care giver has to travel to deliver medication and hence they need a light and portable device for drug delivery. Ambulatory Infusion Pump: 9

Types of Infusion Pump A common simple pump mostly seen during delivery of IV fluids. The flow rate can be varied by a regulator clamp but a very precise control is not possible in this device. It is very cheap and used in situation where an approximate control over flow is needed. Gravity controlled Pump: 10

Types of Infusion Pump Infusion Infusion Pump may be capable of delivering fluids in large or small amounts, and may be used to deliver nutrients or medications such as insulin or other hormones, antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, and pain relievers. Some infusion Infusion Pump are designed mainly for stationary use at a patient's bedside. 11

Conclusion An infusion pump is a medical device that delivers fluids, such as nutrients and medications, into a patient's body in controlled amounts. Infusion pumps are in widespread use in clinical settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, and in the home. 13
