Infusions are prepared from various parts of plants (leaves, flowers, grasses) that contain active substances. They include admixtures known as ballast substances (sugar, mucus, amaroids, tannins, pigments) and are used internally and, less frequently, externally (for example, gargling). infusion[in′fyü·zhən] (chemistry) The aqueous solution of a soluble constituent of a substance as the result of the substance's steeping in the solvent for a period of time.

By adjusting the infusion rate, precise medication dosages or quantities of fluids can be given over time. Therapies administered continuously include some antibiotics, cancer chemotherapies, heparin, insulin, parenteral nutrition, and vasopressors, among others. continuous hepatic artery infusion Abbreviation: CHAI The use of an infusion pump to provide a continuous supply of chemotherapeutic agents to the hepatic artery to control metastases from cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion Abbreviation: CSII Administration of insulin under the skin continuously with an infusion pump connected to a needle inserted beneath the epidermis. See: insulin pumpintraosseous infusionA method of obtaining immediate access to the circulation by inserting a needle through the skin, subcutaneous tissues, and periosteum into the marrow cavity of a long bone, usually the proximal tibia. Once access is gained, substances may be injected into the bone marrow, where they are absorbed almost immediately into the general circulation. This avenue of access does not collapse in the presence of shock. Synonym: intraosseous injectionPatient careDrugs infused intraosseously should be followed by a bolus of 5 mL or more of normal saline. INTRAVENOUS INFUSION TECHNIQUEintravenous infusionThe injection into a vein of a solution, drugs, or blood components. See: illustrationSolutionsMany liquid preparations are given by intravenous (IV) infusion. Those commonly used include isotonic (normal) saline, lactated Ringer, dextrose 5% in water, and potassium chloride 0.2% in 5% dextrose. The type and quantity depend on the needs of the patient. The solution is usually given continuously at the rate of 1 to 2 or more liters per day. In shock, however, rapid infusion of larger volumes may be necessary to support the circulation. SiteIntravenous infusion is usually given in the arm through the median basilic or median cephalic vein, but veins at various other sites may be used. The vein must be exposed if a cannula is used. Introduction of solution should be at the rate required to deliver the needed amount of fluid and contained electrolytes, medicines, or nutrients in a prescribed time. CAUTION!Intravenous infusions should be discontinued or infusion fluid replenished when the solution being administered is depleted. Clotting of blood in the catheter may occur when the infusion is not continuous. Patient careUsing scrupulous aseptic technique and universal precautions, the nurse prepares the IV infusion, selects and prepares a venous site, disinfects the skin, inserts an IV catheter or cannula to initiate the infusion (if an IV access is not in place), and secures it in place, restraining joint motion near the insertion site as necessary. The amount of fluid to be infused per hour is calculated and the flow of the prescribed fluid (and additive as appropriate) initiated at the desired flow rate. A pump or controller is typically used to ensure desired volume delivery. After initiating the infusion, the nurse ensures that the correct fluid is being administered at the designated flow rate and observes the infusion site and the patient at least every hour for signs of infiltration or other complications, such as infection, thrombophlebitis, fluid or electrolyte overload, and air embolism. The site dressing and administration set are changed according to protocol. Central venous catheters and lines are associated with more infections and more serious infections and other complications than peripheral catheters and lines. Strict protocols have been developed for their care. lipid infusionHyperalimentation with a fat-containing solution administered intravenously.neuraxial infusionAn invasive approach to the relief of unremitting pain in which analgesic drugs are injected directly into the spinal fluid.subcutaneous infusionThe infusion of solutions into the subcutaneous space.infusion 1. The administration of a fluid other than blood into a vein. Blood infusion is called TRANSFUSION. Fluids given by intravenous infusion include saline (sodium chloride) solutions, DEXTRAN solution, DEXTROSE solution, lactic acid solution, bicarbonate solution and a variety of special mixtures, such as Ringer's and Hartmann's solution. 2.

A pharmaceutical operation, which consists in pouring a hot or cold fluid upon a substance, whose medical properties it is desired to extract. Infusion is also used for the product of this operation. Although infusion differs from decoction, (q.v.) they are said to be ejusdem generis; and in the case of an indictment which charged the prisoner with giving a decoction, and the evidence was that he had given an infusion, the difference was held to be immaterial. 8 Camp.
