This presentation describes a new device for administering liquid medication, improving accuracy in pediatrics.
The purpose of this brief presentation is to describe the use of a homemade device for the administration of liquid medication to infants and children. The inaccuracies of pediatric dosage by teaspoons have long been recognized. Accompanying this handicap has been the inconvenience of the teaspoon itself which requires a steady hand and a cooperative patient. Pediatric nurses, probably because teaspoons were not handy, have long resorted to the hypodermic syringe to administer oral medication.
