Clinical Outcomes of Smart Infusion Pumps in Medication Safety and Dosing Precision: A Case Series
Author(s): Joshua Adiele* and Brisibe Beauty Oroma
Smart infusion pumps have become essential tools in modern clinical practice, designed to reduce medication errors, enhance dosing precision, and improve patient safety. Despite their widespread adoption, real-world clinical outcomes vary depending on device configuration, staff training, and integration with electronic medical systems. This case series evaluates the clinical impact of smart infusion pumps on medication safety and dosing accuracy across three distinct patient scenarios. Three patients receiving high-risk intravenous medications, insulin, heparin, and chemotherapy were monitored using smart infusion pumps equipped with dose-error reduction systems (DERS). Clinical outcomes assessed included dosing accuracy, incidence of infusion-related errors, adverse drug events, and nurse-reported usability. Across all cases, smart pumps prevented potentially harmful dosing deviatio.. Read More»
