Infusion Pump Volumetric

Volumetric infusion pumps work by measuring the volume of fluid that is delivered to the patient. This is done by using a piston or roller pump to move the fluid through a tube and into the patient’s body. The pump can be programmed to deliver the fluid at a specific rate and volume.

Volumetric infusion pumps are typically used to deliver the following types of fluids:

• Intravenous fluids (IV fluids): IV fluids are used to provide hydration and nutrients to patients.
• Medications: Volumetric infusion pumps can be used to deliver a variety of medications, including antibiotics, pain relievers, and chemotherapy drugs.
• Blood products: Volumetric infusion pumps can be used to deliver blood products, such as red blood cells, platelets, and plasma.

Volumetric infusion pumps are typically easy to use and are equipped with a variety of safety features. For example, most volumetric infusion pumps have alarms that will sound if the rate of fluid delivery is too high or too low.
