Infusion pumps are broadly categorized into large volume pumps and ambulatory or syringe pumps, each serving distinct clinical environments. Large volume pumps are heavy-duty, pole-mounted electronic devices utilized primarily in hospital inpatient settings to deliver large quantities of nutritional fluids or basic intravenous medications. Conversely, ambulatory infusion pumps are lightweight, portable, battery-operated devices designed to be worn or carried by patients, enabling them to receive continuous treatments like outpatient chemotherapy or pain management safely at home.
