Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | IV (intravenous) therapy is a form of medication administration in which the desired medication is given directly into the bloodstream through a vein. Intravenous systems, which consist of a small, thin plastic catheter attached to a needle-less "lock" device, are commonly used by medical personnel to draw blood samples, give one-time "pushes" of medications, or infuse medications or fluids over extended periods of time. (These last are commonly known as "IV drips," as the apparatus consists of a large bag or bottle of fluid connected to a length of plastic tubing containing a drip chamber). According to The Other Wiki, intravenous therapy may be used to correct electrolyte imbalances, to deliver medications, for blood transfusion, for rapid fluid replacement to correct dehydration or blood loss, or for maintenance fluids in a patient who cannot eat or drink. |
