- The IV pump was new to me because I never knew what it looked like or what it was called or what it was used for. A mongol is a machine attached to the IV pump depending on how many bags or pumps are connected to the patient. First, pull the pump open and connect it to the tube, also hang it on the IV pump and then put how many mL the patient is going to use and how fact the pump is going to go (ex. 100 mL/hr) then open the tube so the liquid can start running into the patient.
