Intravenous (IV) fluid therapy is the process of delivering fluids directly into a vein through a thin tube called a catheter. These fluids are specially formulated solutions that can:

• Replenish fluids: This is crucial for people who are dehydrated due to illness, injury, excessive exercise, or heatstroke.
• Maintain blood pressure: IV fluids help ensure your body has enough volume of blood circulating to function properly.
• Deliver medications: Some medications are most effective when administered intravenously.

Why a healthcare professional is essential:

While the concept may seem straightforward, IV fluid therapy requires medical expertise for several reasons:

• Choosing the right fluid: Different medical conditions require different types of IV fluids. A healthcare professional can determine the specific solution your body needs.
• Sterile technique: Inserting the catheter and administering fluids must be done under sterile conditions to prevent infection.
• Monitoring:  During and after IV therapy, healthcare professionals monitor vital signs and fluid balance to ensure your safety and adjust the rate or type of fluid if necessary.
