What are smart infusion pumps, and how do they enhance patient care?
Smart infusion pumps are advanced devices used to deliver intravenous medications and fluids with precision. These pumps are equipped with software that helps prevent medication errors by ensuring the correct dosage and infusion rate. Nurses can program the pumps to alert them to potential issues, such as air in the line or occlusions. This technology enhances patient safety and frees up nurses to focus on other critical tasks.
