What is the Difference between bolus injection and bolus infusion?

A bolus injection is a single, rapid administration of a medication or fluid directly into the bloodstream. On the other hand, a bolus infusion involves administering a larger volume of medication or fluid over a short period, usually within minutes, to achieve a desired therapeutic effect. In summary, bolus injection is quick and immediate, while bolus infusion is more gradual but still delivered rapidly.

What is bolus in an infusion pump?

An IV bolus is usually just normal saline (or water) that is given to patients who are dehydrated from nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It can be given if your heart rate is too high (tachycardia), fever, or if you have swelling in which you are storing more fluid in your 3rd spacing (or skin) than in your vasculature (veins and arteries).
