IVinfusioon

IVinfusioon is a term that refers to the process of administering fluids, medications, or nutrients directly into a person's vein through an intravenous line. This method bypasses the digestive system, allowing for rapid absorption and precise delivery of substances into the bloodstream. Intravenous infusions are commonly used in medical settings for a variety of purposes, including hydration, pain management, antibiotic therapy, chemotherapy, and nutritional support.

The procedure typically involves inserting a needle into a vein, usually in the arm or hand, and connecting it to a bag or bottle containing the solution to be infused. The rate of infusion can be carefully controlled using an infusion pump or by adjusting the drip rate manually. Healthcare professionals, such as nurses and doctors, are responsible for preparing and administering IV infusions, as well as monitoring the patient for any adverse reactions.

While IV infusions are generally safe and effective, potential risks can include infection at the insertion site, phlebitis (inflammation of the vein), or allergic reactions to the infused substance. Proper sterile technique and patient monitoring are crucial to minimize these risks. The specific type of solution, dosage, and duration of an IV infusion are determined by the patient's medical condition and the prescriber's orders.
