Clinical Practice Guidelines for Intravenous Therapy

Clinical Practice Guidelines for Intravenous (IV) Therapy are standardized recommendations designed to ensure safe, effective, and consistent use of IV treatments. They cover when and how to insert IV lines, maintain sterility, monitor patients, and manage potential complications. These guidelines help healthcare providers deliver proper hydration, medication, or nutrients directly into a patient’s bloodstream while minimizing risks like infection or fluid overload. Following these protocols improves patient safety, promotes optimal outcomes, and ensures care is based on the best available evidence and practices.
