Infusion pumps and syringe pumps are medical equipment that allows drugs or solutions to be delivered to the patient’s body in controlled quantities and accurately. They are used when it is key to give the patient a specific amount of a drug or solution at a certain rate or for a specific amount of time.
Through the use of infusion pumps, a wide variety of chemical compounds, from nutrients or medications, such as insulin or other hormones, chemotherapy drugs, painkillers, epidural painkillers, among others, can be administered to the patient much more easily.
What is an infusion pump? How do these computers work?
An infusion pump is a medical equipment, considered a system that allows to administer drugs and solutions directly to the patient’s blood, allowing to supply volumes of drugs at precise speeds and even at automatic intervals when previously scheduled, quality that allows to provide greater supervision during parenteral administration of drugs and solutions.
They are used to administer drugs and solutions at high pressures that could not be achieved with other equipment operated manually or dependent on severity, such as during the administration of intra-arterial drugs, or very fast flows of solutions during resuscitation (200-1000 ml/h). And its functioning is based on the application of this pressure to drive in this way the fluids from the outside medium to the circulatory torrent of the patient, being its main objective the parenteral administration (intravenous) or enteral (via nasogastric), in a safe, reliable and automated way. She brings a built-in program that allows you to program the volume that you want to infuse and issue an alarm as soon as you reach this volume, and if the drug or substance is not finished.
What is a syringe pump? How does this computer work?
Syringe pumps are equipment used to administer intravenous fluids, such as regional anesthesia, antiarrhythmic drugs, chemotherapy drugs, antibiotics, among others. These devices guarantee the delivery of volumes with a high degree of accuracy and a constant flow for small volumes (60 ml) of drugs or powerful drugs, and which are commonly delivered with flow adjustments from 0.5 to 10 ml/hour.
A syringe pump works as follows: they expel the liquid from the syringe when the syringe or cylinder plunger advances at a set rate. Generally an engine pulls a screw or gear mechanism. The speed of the engine varies depending on the flow rate being set and the size of the syringe. In most models, empty syringes must be removed or replaced manually, and some models may even attach two syringes, to allow continuous delivery when one of the syringes has been completely emptied, or to provide two simultaneous infusions.
