What Is a Pressure Infusion Bag? Its Definition & Core Purpose
A pressure infusion bag is a device that accelerates the infusion rate and controls fluid delivery by applying controlled air pressure, enabling rapid infusion for patients with hypovolemia and its complications.
It is a cuff and balloon device specifically designed for pressure control.
It mainly consists of four components:
- •Inflation Bulb
- •Three-Way Stopcock
- •Pressure Gauge
- •Pressure Cuff (Balloon)
Types of Pressure Infusion Bags
1.Reusable Pressure Infusion Bag
Feature: Equipped with a metal pressure gauge for precise pressure monitoring.
2.Disposable Pressure Infusion Bag
Feature: Equipped with a color-coded pressure indicator for easy visual monitoring.
Common Specifications
Infusion bag sizes available are 500 ml, 1000 ml, and 3000 ml, as shown in the figure below.
Clinical Applications of Pressure Infusion Bags
- 1.Used to continuously pressurize heparin-containing flush solution for flushing indwelling arterial pressure monitoring catheters
- 2.Used for rapid intravenous infusion of fluids and blood during surgery and emergency situations
- 3.During interventional cerebrovascular procedures, provides high-pressure saline perfusion to flush catheters and prevent blood from flowing back, which could cause thrombus formation, dislodgement, or intravascular embolism
- 4.Used for rapid fluid and blood infusion in field hospitals, battlefields, hospitals, and other emergency settings。
