intravenous fluid therapy

Intravenous (IV) fluid therapy involves delivering fluids directly into a person's vein using a tiny tube called a catheter. This method helps restore or maintain hydration, replace lost fluids, and deliver medications quickly into the bloodstream. It is commonly used in hospitals for dehydration, illness, or surgery. The fluids used can include water, salts, sugars, or medications, tailored to the patient's needs. IV therapy provides a controlled, efficient way to ensure the body stays properly hydrated and receives essential nutrients and medicines when oral intake isn’t possible or sufficient.
