bolus manipulation

Bolus manipulation involves adjusting or controlling the way medication or nutrients are delivered into the body through a feeding tube or infusion pump. This process ensures that the right amount is administered safely and effectively, sometimes by changing the volume, timing, or rate of delivery. Proper manipulation helps prevent complications like clogging, overfeeding, or underdosing, and maintains optimal health outcomes. Healthcare professionals carefully plan bolus manipulations based on individual patient needs, monitoring responses to make adjustments as necessary.
