Answer:
An infusion pump is a device, which is used to deliver fluids such as medications and nutrients into a patient’s body in controlled amounts. By using the infusion pump, you will be able to deliver large or small amounts of fluids going into the patient’s body. Medications can also be transferred into the patient via the infusion pump (medications such as insulin, antibiotics, painkillers etc.)
This is a very important development because patients that cannot take medications and nutrients via mouth are treated using the infusion pump.
