Abstract:
Drug infusion devices have become indispensable tools in ICU patient care, drug delivery, and operation rooms (OR) and for controlled fluid delivery. Syringe pump safety is paramount in healthcare and laboratory settings to ensure accurate medication delivery and prevent adverse events. Healthcare professionals must receive thorough training on syringe pump operation, including loading syringes, programming infusion rates, and responding to alarms. Using the correct syringe size and type is essential to prevent inaccuracies in drug/fluid delivery. Regular calibration and maintenance checks are necessary to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the syringe pumps. Two cases of refractory hypotension are reported here, which were resolved by careful inspection of the infusion pumps.
