"Injection" and "infusion" can be called synonyms from some perspectives. The infusion pump, as the name suggests, is mainly used for infusion, while the syringe pump is actually called a micro-infusion pump clinically.
From this name, we can see that the syringe pump is mainly used in the aspect of micro-dosing. Relatively speaking, the micro-infusion pump, which is what we call the syringe pump, has the advantages of low-dose administration compared with the ordinary infusion pump. certain advantages.
The advantages of the syringe pump lie in the high precision of drug delivery, flexible dispensing, simple handling, and small flow pulsation.
The infusion pump and the syringe pump are not opposite products. On the contrary, they are complementary products, which are auxiliary products and are suitable for major hospitals.
In general, whether it is an infusion pump or a syringe pump, it is a product that can control the infusion flow rate and drip rate, which can make the speed of the drug entering the patient's body more uniform and accurate, so as to play the role of the drug itself , improve the efficiency and flexibility of drug delivery, and also reduce the work intensity of medical staff.
5 major functions of medical syringe pump:
1. Eliminate manual labor;

2. When choosing a vein, choose a thick and straight vein as much as possible, and try not to have a three-way catheter, so as not to affect the speed and concentration of the syringe pump when pushing the drug;
3. Strengthen supervision and inspection, pay attention to observe the patient's condition, do not rely entirely on the data displayed on the instrument, so as to avoid errors and omissions.
