Can astronauts use IV drips in space? How to implement it, how to measure it. In modern physical research, all methods are based on Earth’s gravity; once we move away from this gravitational field, many methods and devices may become unusable. So is it necessary to study a set of physical theories in space?
With today’s technology, there should be no problem.
Apply a bit of pressure, add a control valve and everything will be fine
Simple pressure application may not be sufficient; it’s unclear how gas-liquid separation can be achieved in a weightless environment. It is said that when astronauts burp in space, what comes out of their mouths might not be just gas
You must be really idle to have such free time. What a waste of time
Hospitals have been using peristaltic pumps for fluid infusion for a long time now; why do you still ask this question?
In medicine, there is a commonly used linear stroke pump that can deliver pressure continuously over a period of time. Its cost is slightly higher, but it is not difficult to achieve the desired results with it.
