Normal saline is given intravenously, over a long period of time, this is known as continuous Infusion.
A continuous infusion refers to a fluid or medication that will run continuously until empty. It has several advantages over intermittent SQ, IM, and IV routes. This method circumvents repetitive injections, prevents delays in analgesic drug administration, and provides continuous levels of pain control without children experiencing increased side effects at peak level and pain breakthroughs at trough levels.
Continuous infusions have been the primary approach to postoperative epidural analgesia. Advancement in infusion pumps has allowed for patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA), employing the same benefits found with IV opioid patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA).
