World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on infusion therapy

The World Health Organization (WHO) provides guidelines to ensure safe and effective infusion therapy, which involves delivering fluids, medications, or nutrients directly into a patient’s bloodstream. These guidelines recommend proper techniques, sterile procedures, and monitoring to prevent infections or complications. They emphasize using the right type of fluids and equipment, ensuring proper hand hygiene, and regularly checking the infusion site for signs of problems. The goal is to maximize treatment benefits while minimizing risks, ensuring patients receive safe, high-quality care during intravenous treatments.
