What Are the Key Components of Infusion Monitoring?
Effective infusion monitoring involves several components:
Visual Inspection: Regularly check the infusion site for signs of swelling, redness, or leakage. Flow Rate: Ensure the infusion is running at the prescribed rate using an infusion pump or gravity drip. Patient Response: Monitor the patient's vital signs and report any changes in condition immediately. Equipment Functionality: Inspect the infusion equipment for proper function and integrity.
