intravenous drip

An intravenous (IV) drip is a method of delivering fluids, medications, or nutrients directly into a person's bloodstream through a thin, flexible tube called a catheter. The catheter is inserted into a vein, usually in the arm, and connected to a bag containing the liquid. The flow rate is controlled to ensure the right amount of fluid enters the body over a specific time. IV drips provide quick absorption, are commonly used for dehydration, medication administration, or nutritional support, offering a safe and efficient way to deliver treatments directly into the circulatory system.
