Infusion is a medical procedure that involves the introduction of a fluid other than blood into a vein. The process is used to deliver medications or nutrients directly into the body's bloodstream.
Types of Infusion[edit]
There are several types of infusions, including intravenous infusion, subcutaneous infusion, and intraosseous infusion. Each type of infusion is used for different medical conditions and situations.
Intravenous Infusion[edit]
Intravenous infusion is the most common type of infusion. It involves the delivery of medication or nutrients directly into a vein. This method is often used when a patient needs to receive a large amount of fluid or a medication that cannot be taken orally.
Subcutaneous Infusion[edit]
Subcutaneous infusion, also known as hypodermoclysis, is a method of administering fluids into the subcutaneous space, the layer of fat just under the skin. This method is often used for continuous administrations of medications or fluids.
Intraosseous Infusion[edit]
Intraosseous infusion involves the delivery of medication or fluids directly into the marrow of a bone. This method is often used in emergency situations when intravenous access is not available.
Uses of Infusion[edit]
Infusion is used in a variety of medical situations. It can be used to deliver medications, such as antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, and pain relievers. It can also be used to deliver nutrients to patients who cannot eat or drink. In addition, infusion can be used to deliver fluids to patients who are dehydrated.
Risks and Complications[edit]
Like any medical procedure, infusion carries some risks. These can include infection, bleeding, and damage to the vein. In rare cases, a patient may have an allergic reaction to the medication being infused.
