Intravenous (IV) fluids

Intravenous (IV) fluids are liquids administered directly into a person’s bloodstream through a vein. They are used to provide essential nutrients, medications, or hydration quickly, especially if someone can't drink enough fluids or needs immediate treatment. IV fluids can contain water, salts, sugars, or medications, tailored to meet the patient's specific medical needs. This method ensures fast delivery and precise control over the amount of fluid or medicine given, supporting recovery, maintaining balance, and preventing complications like dehydration or electrolyte imbalances.
