IV Fluid Administration
About the procedure
IV fluid administration involves delivering fluids directly into a vein to restore hydration, electrolytes, or medications. It is commonly used in cases of dehydration, infections, or weakness. A sterile cannula is inserted into a vein, and fluids are administered under medical supervision. The procedure helps rapidly correct fluid imbalance and improves overall condition. It is safe when monitored properly and may be required in both emergency and routine care settings.
