1. A remote control unit configured to facilitate remotely-controlled intravenous (IV) liquid infusion into a patient, the remote control unit comprising:
control inputs configured to allow an operator to control operation of multiple IV liquid infusion pumps,
wherein a first communication link may be established with a first one of the multiple IV liquid infusion pumps by operator selection of a channel on the remote control unit from a plurality of communication channels that coincides with an operator-selectable channel for the first one of the multiple IV liquid infusion pumps,
wherein a second communication link may be established with a second one of the multiple IV liquid infusion pumps by operator selection of a different channel that coincides with a different operator-selectable channel on the second one of the multiple IV liquid infusion pumps after initial connection with the first one of the multiple IV liquid infusion pumps; and
a display configured to allow an operator to monitor operation of the multiple IV liquid infusion pumps by cycling through the plurality of configured channels to provide the operator with periodic updates of a status of the multiple IV liquid infusion pumps.
