Reduce Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) Involving Intravenous Medications:
Use IV Pumps with Safety Features
Programmable pumps provide safety features to control the dose and amount of solution delivered to a patient. Intravenous solution bags that are hung without a pump do not have these safety features. Pumps control the amount of solution delivered to prevent inadvertent underdosing or overdosing, which can result in very serious harm to the patient.
