iv set pediatric
An IV set pediatric is a specialized medical device designed specifically for administering intravenous fluids and medications to children and infants. This essential medical equipment features precise calibration and child-specific components to ensure safe and accurate fluid delivery. The system typically includes a drip chamber with precise markings, micro-bore tubing to prevent fluid overload, and specialized flow regulators that allow for extremely accurate control of infusion rates. The pediatric IV set incorporates safety features such as built-in air elimination filters and anti-free flow mechanisms to protect young patients. Modern sets often include needleless access ports and clear, graduated chambers that enable healthcare providers to monitor fluid delivery closely. The tubing is manufactured from medical-grade, latex-free materials to minimize allergic reactions, while the entire system is designed to maintain sterility throughout the infusion process. These sets are compatible with various types of IV pumps and can be used for both gravity-fed and mechanically pumped administration. The design takes into consideration the unique challenges of pediatric care, including the need for smaller volumes and more precise control over fluid administration rates.
