The document discusses the history and evolution of intravenous (IV) therapy. It defines IV therapy and infusion therapy and distinguishes between the two. The earliest attempts at IV therapy occurred during the Renaissance but were often lethal. Modern IV therapy was pioneered in the 1830s to treat cholera patients but was met with skepticism.
