Infusion pumps are medical devices that deliver fluids like nutrients and medications into a patient's body at controlled rates. There are several types of infusion pumps including syringe pumps, multi-channel pumps, volumetric pumps, ambulatory pumps, and gravity-controlled pumps. Infusion pumps are widely used in clinical settings to accurately administer multiple fluids and drugs at different rates. They provide benefits over traditional fluid delivery methods by allowing for precise control over dosage and timing.

3. Definition
Infusion Infusion Pump are devices that are
used to deliver therapeutic fluids which can be
either medication or nutrients at a
predetermined rate

4. Introduction
• Over the years there has been lot of research on
these Infusion Pump resulting in several varieties
of Infusion Pump giving more and more control
on the volume and time of fluid to be delivered.
• Overall they can be divided in two sub-groups i.e.
electronically operated infusion device and
Gravity operated infusion device.

5. Introduction
• There are various types of infusion pump designed
with a view to serve different purpose of therapy
but it is important that the Infusion Pump selected
can deliver the fluids at desired rate and volume.
• Electronic operated infusion device has a microchip
that controls the delivery of fluid while gravity
controlled device have regulator that operates as
clamp to vary the flow rate.

6. Types of Infusion Pump
• Syringe Pump:
Syringe Infusion Pump can deliver drugs
even in very small doses, 0.1ml per hour
to 200 ml per hour. These Infusion Pump
have a smooth delivery over the entire
period. Some syringe Infusion Pump
accuracy might appear in terms of
displacement of piston.

7. Types of Infusion Pump
• Advanced Multi-channel Infusion Pump:
Often in critical care; a therapist might
fell the need of delivering more than one
drug to the patient and a desired flow
rate. These multi-channel Infusion Pump
have an advantage of administering more
than one fluid delivery at different flow
rates.

8. Types of Infusion Pump
• Volumetric Infusion Pump:
Some manufacturers also describe these
Infusion Pump as roller Infusion Pump.
The pump has an advantage to deliver
high volume of fluid at precise
administered rate where other Infusion
Pump might have limited or no use at all.

9. Types of Infusion Pump
• Ambulatory Infusion Pump:
Ambulatory Infusion Pump are devices
that are very small and portable. With
recent advancement in medical sciences,
there are situations when the care giver
has to travel to deliver medication and
hence they need a light and portable
device for drug delivery.

10. Types of Infusion Pump
• Gravity controlled Pump:
A common simple pump mostly seen
during delivery of IV fluids. The flow rate
can be varied by a regulator clamp but a
very precise control is not possible in this
device. It is very cheap and used in
situation where an approximate control
over flow is needed.

11. Types of Infusion Pump
• Infusion Infusion Pump may be capable of
delivering fluids in large or small amounts,
and may be used to deliver nutrients or
medications – such as insulin or other
hormones, antibiotics, chemotherapy
drugs, and pain relievers.
• Some infusion Infusion Pump are designed
mainly for stationary use at a patient's
bedside.

13. Conclusion
 An infusion pump is a medical device that
delivers fluids, such as nutrients and
medications, into a patient's body in
controlled amounts.
 Infusion pumps are in widespread use in
clinical settings such as hospitals, nursing
homes, and in the home.
