Fluid therapy

Fluid therapy involves administering fluids—usually through a vein—to a patient to maintain or restore proper hydration, electrolyte balance, and blood circulation. It is commonly used in medical settings for dehydration, shock, or illness to ensure organs function effectively. The type, amount, and rate of fluids are carefully chosen based on the patient’s condition, aiming to prevent complications like electrolyte imbalance or fluid overload. This therapy supports recovery by helping the body eliminate toxins, maintain blood pressure, and keep tissues adequately nourished.
