IV Fluids and Blood Transfusion Overview by Joe Verghese is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Intravenous (IV) therapy involves delivering substances directly into the vein. It is the fastest way to distribute fluids and medications throughout the body. IV therapy can be used to correct electrolyte imbalances, deliver medications, transfuse blood, or provide fluid replacement for issues like dehydration. Substances given intravenously include volume expanders like crystalloids and colloids, blood products, medications, buffer solutions, and parenteral nutrition.
