    Syringe Driver

    Uploaded by

    A syringe driver or syringe pump is a small infusion pump used to gradually administer fluids or medications to patients or for use in research. It is commonly used in palliative care to continuously deliver painkillers, anti-nausea drugs, and other medications to prevent fluctuations in drug levels. Syringe pumps can also slowly inject IV medications over several minutes, saving staff time and reducing errors compared to manual injections. They are useful for applications requiring slow introduction of chemicals such as microfluidic experiments and enzyme kinetics studies.

    Syringe driver
    A syringe driver or syringe pump is a small infusion pump (some
    include infuse and withdraw capability), used to gradually administer
    small amounts of fluid (with or without medication) to a patient or for
    use in chemical and biomedical research.
    The most popular use of syringe drivers is in palliative care, to
    continuously administer analgesics (painkillers), antiemetics
    (medication to suppress nausea and vomiting) and other drugs. This
    prevents periods during which medication levels in the blood are too

    people who have difficulty swallowing). As the medication is
    administered subcutaneously, the area for administration is practically limitless, although edema may interfere with
    the action of some drugs.

    Syringe drivers are also useful for delivering IV medications over several minutes. In the case of a medication which
    should be slowly pushed in over the course of several minutes, this device saves staff time and reduces errors.
    Syringe pumps are also useful in microfluidic applications, such as microreactor design and testing, and also in
    chemistry for slow incorporation of a fixed volume of fluid into a solution. In enzyme kinetics syringe drivers can be
    used to observe rapid kinetics as part of a stopped-flow apparatus.[1]
