A furosemide infusion is a method of administering high doses of the diuretic furosemide intravenously over a period of time to treat conditions like fluid overload from heart or kidney failure. It can be a continuous infusion or given as a slower, intermittent infusion, often used when oral administration is not possible or when a stronger diuretic effect is needed to remove excess fluid. The exact dosage is individualized based on the patient's response.
