I agree that syringe pumps are better for drugs, volumetric pumps are better for fluids in riskier situations, especially if they have additives and gravity infusions can be used for non-hazardous hydration.......but you try telling the Americans that, they like IV pumps for all infusions.
Anyone across the pond like to expand on why that is?
And back to the original question, no there is no guidelines etc about not using them.
