Pump vs. Gravity

Can't seems to get responses in IV nursing so I will post here...

I have been working in oncology/hematology part time for the past 5 years. I work in an infusion room. When I first started I was amazed that they had NO pumps. All chemo and biologics are run via gravity only. Is this unusual??? If you give chemo and biologics do you use a pump or gravity?

    I've worked Onc for 6 years, 2 different hospitals. Everything except platelets is done on a pump.

    Thank you for the rationale, iluvit. I agree that either way, it comes down to the human(s) initially calculating the correct dose, regardless of whether it's gravity or pump administered.
