Intravenous Solutions
Intravenous (IV) solutions are fluids administered directly into a person’s bloodstream through a small, flexible tube called a catheter. They are used to deliver hydration, medications, nutrients, or electrolytes quickly and effectively, especially when someone cannot eat or drink normally. IV solutions come in various types, such as saline (saltwater) or glucose solutions, tailored to meet specific health needs. They help restore fluid balance, support recovery, and ensure the body’s cells and organs function properly. IV therapy is a common, essential medical procedure used in hospitals, clinics, and emergency situations.
