A system, comprising: a first actuable component configured to couple to a plunger of a first syringe containing a medication; a second actuable component configured to couple to a plunger of a second syringe containing the same medication; a display; and a processor configured to: operate the first actuable component to move the plunger of the first syringe at a first rate; operate the second actuable component to move the plunger of the second syringe at a second rate while operating the first actuable component at the first rate; operate the display to provide a message that describes a decrease in the first rate and a corresponding increase in the second rate; set tightened monitoring limits modifying the acceptable vital signs limits of the patient for a monitoring period during a transition period in which administration of the medication is relayed from the first syringe to the second syringe so that changes in the patient vital signs that may be caused by changes in the infusion can be quickly detected and addressed; revert operation of the first and second actuable components back to previous flow rate settings if the tightened monitoring limit is violated; and generate an alarm or alert. a first actuable component configured to couple to a plunger of a first syringe containing a medication; a second actuable component configured to couple to a plunger of a second syringe containing the same medication; a display; and a processor configured to: operate the first actuable component to move the plunger of the first syringe at a first rate; operate the second actuable component to move the plunger of the second syringe at a second rate while operating the first actuable component at the first rate; operate the display to provide a message that describes a decrease in the first rate and a corresponding increase in the second rate; set tightened monitoring limits modifying the acceptable vital signs limits of the patient for a monitoring period during a transition period in which administration of the medication is relayed from the first syringe to the second syringe so that changes in the patient vital signs that may be caused by changes in the infusion can be quickly detected and addressed; revert operation of the first and second actuable components back to previous flow rate settings if the tightened monitoring limit is violated; and generate an alarm or alert. operate the first actuable component to move the plunger of the first syringe at a first rate; operate the second actuable component to move the plunger of the second syringe at a second rate while operating the first actuable component at the first rate; operate the display to provide a message that describes a decrease in the first rate and a corresponding increase in the second rate; set tightened monitoring limits modifying the acceptable vital signs limits of the patient for a monitoring period during a transition period in which administration of the medication is relayed from the first syringe to the second syringe so that changes in the patient vital signs that may be caused by changes in the infusion can be quickly detected and addressed; revert operation of the first and second actuable components back to previous flow rate settings if the tightened monitoring limit is violated; and generate an alarm or alert. <EOS>
