Study Notes
Giving Sets
- Included types of clamps can occlude the IV line and stop fluid flow when needed
- Featured a rubber injection port used for:
- Flushing the IV line/catheter
- Delivering medications
Giving Sets
- Giving sets include clamps that can be used to occlude the IV line and stop the fluid flow when required.
- Rubber injection port is used to flush the IV line/catheter and deliver medications.
- Giving sets with a burette help to limit the chance of accidentally over-hydrating a small patient.
- Burette IV Giving Sets help to monitor the volume being delivered.
Burette IV Giving Set
- 60 drops/ml is the ratio of the Burette IV Giving Set.

Burette IV Giving Set
- 60 drops/ml is the ratio of the Burette IV Giving Set.
Infusion Pumps
- Infusion pumps are more accurate than using a giving set alone for fluid administration.
- A giving set is still required, but the pump takes control of the flow rate.
- Two essential settings are necessary for the pump: the rate of infusion (mL/hr) and the total volume to be infused.
- Some infusion pumps are specific to particular types of giving sets, while others can accommodate standard giving sets.
Infusion Pumps
- More accurate than using a giving set alone
- Controls flow rate, requiring a set rate (mL/hr) and total volume to be infused
- May require a specific type of giving set, or can use a regular giving set
Syringe Driver
- Used for precise delivery of fluid therapy to small patients
- Also used for accurate delivery of IV medications to patients over a period of time
