  schema:description "A syringe driver is a small battery pump that pushes medicines for pain, sickness, agitation or chest secretions slowly under the skin over 24 hours, when swallowing is hard or tablets are not working. A nurse sets it up, refills it every day and checks it regularly; you or your family should not adjust it, and should call the nurses if it alarms, the skin is sore, or symptoms are not controlled."@en ;
