Patient Safety in Infusion Therapy

Patient safety in infusion therapy involves carefully administering medications or fluids through a needle or catheter to ensure the patient receives the correct treatment without complications. It includes proper sterilization, correct medication and dosage, accurate placement of the IV line, and ongoing monitoring for reactions or issues. These measures prevent infections, errors, and harm, ensuring the infusion process is effective and safe. Proper training, adherence to protocols, and vigilant observation are key to protecting patients during infusion therapy.
