fluid replacement therapy

Fluid replacement therapy involves giving fluids to a person who is dehydrated or has lost fluids due to illness, surgery, or injury. It helps restore the balance of fluids and electrolytes in the body, ensuring that organs function properly. Depending on the situation, fluids can be administered through a vein (intravenous) or orally. This treatment is essential for maintaining blood pressure, supporting kidney function, and promoting recovery. The type and amount of fluid given are tailored to the individual's needs, helping them recover efficiently and safely.
