An infusion pump infuses fluids, medication or nutrients into a patient's circulatory system. It is generally used intravenously, although subcutaneous, arterial and epidural infusions are occasionally used as well.
Using a locked syringe pump significantly enhances patient safety by reducing the risk of administering incorrect medication doses. With a locked syringe pump, the dosage settings are secured, preventing accidental or unauthorized adjustments during infusion. This is especially beneficial for high-risk medications that require precise dosing, as it maintains consistent, accurate delivery and minimizes human error. Additionally, many syringe pumps have built-in safety features, such as alarms and dose limits, to further protect patients from potential dosing errors.
