IV fluid therapy

IV fluid therapy involves delivering fluids directly into a person's bloodstream through a small tube, called an intravenous (IV) line. This treatment is crucial for patients who are dehydrated, unable to drink, or need medication quickly. IV fluids can replenish essential electrolytes, provide nutrition, and maintain blood pressure. Often used in hospitals, it helps support recovery from illnesses, surgeries, or injuries by ensuring that the body remains well-hydrated and functions properly. The type and amount of fluid used depend on the patient's specific needs, guided by healthcare professionals.
