intravenous medication administration

Intravenous (IV) medication administration involves delivering medicines directly into a person's bloodstream through a vein using a small tube called a catheter. This method allows for quick absorption of the medication, ensuring rapid effect. It is often used when precise dosing is needed or when a person cannot take medications by mouth. The IV line is connected to a bag of fluid containing the medication, which is carefully controlled to ensure safety. Healthcare professionals monitor the process for proper placement and to prevent complications like infection or infiltration. IV medication is a common and effective way to provide treatment promptly and effectively.
