I.V. Administration

Intravenous (IV) administration involves delivering fluids, medications, or nutrients directly into a vein using a thin tube called a catheter. This method allows for quick absorption into the bloodstream, providing immediate effects or hydration. It is commonly used in hospitals for patients who cannot take medicines orally, need rapid treatment, or require ongoing therapy. The IV setup can be temporary or long-term, depending on medical needs. Proper insertion, maintenance, and monitoring are essential to prevent complications like infections or blockages. IV therapy is a vital tool in modern medical care for efficient and controlled treatment delivery.
