Continuous infusion

Continuous infusion is a method of delivering medication into the body steadily over a set period, often through a small tube called a catheter. Instead of receiving a large dose at once, the medication is administered slowly and consistently, which helps maintain stable blood levels and improve effectiveness. This approach is commonly used for treatments like pain management, antibiotics, or other medications that benefit from consistent dosing. It requires precise control and monitoring to ensure the right amount is delivered continuously, optimizing therapeutic benefits while minimizing side effects.
