v. Infusion pumps

Infusion pumps infuse fluids such as chemotherapy drugs, pain medications, or nutrients into the circulatory system in a controlled manner. Several kinds of infusion pumps, including Patient Controlled Analgesia pumps, are available. Problems can arise with infusion pumps when there are errors in dosing rate or fluid volume. Infusion pumps often rely on patients controlling settings on difficult-to-reach buttons or flat screens that may not be accessible to individuals with disabilities. Integrated alarms may not be audible to individuals with hearing disabilities.
