Intravenous analgesia

Intravenous (IV) analgesia involves delivering pain-relieving medication directly into a patient's bloodstream through a vein. This method allows for rapid and controlled pain relief, often used during surgeries or in emergency settings. The medication bypasses the digestive system, providing quick onset of effects and adjustable dosing. Healthcare providers monitor the patient to ensure safety and effectiveness. It is a common and effective way to manage moderate to severe pain, offering precise control over medication levels while minimizing delays in relief.
