To deliver drugs, fluids, and nutrients straight into a patient’s bloodstream, IV drips are frequently utilized. They can be used for a number of purposes, including rehydrating patients who have become dehydrated as a result of a disease or accident, relieving pain, administering chemotherapeutic medications, and addressing electrolyte and other nutritional imbalances.

A catheter is a tiny tube that is placed into a vein to deliver an IV drip. Although additional sites may be utilized in some circumstances, the catheter is normally placed into a vein in the patient’s arm. The fluid or medication is injected into the bloodstream through the catheter, which enables it to rapidly and efficiently reach its target.
