Several types of IV pumps are commonly used in neonatal care, including:
- Volumetric Pumps: These pumps deliver fluids at a set rate and volume, making them ideal for continuous infusion therapies. - Syringe Pumps: These are often used for medications that require very precise dosing, as they can deliver small volumes accurately. - PCA (Patient-Controlled Analgesia) Pumps: Though less common in neonates, these can be used for pain management in certain situations.
