IV injections serve multiple purposes in healthcare settings:
Medication Administration: IV injection ensures that drugs, especially those that need to act quickly, are delivered directly into the bloodstream. This is particularly important in emergencies, such as administering antibiotics, pain relievers, or chemotherapy. Fluid Replacement: IV fluids are vital for patients who are dehydrated, in shock, or undergoing surgery. They help maintain electrolyte balance and blood volume. Nutritional Support: For patients unable to consume food orally or enterally, IV injections provide essential nutrients through parenteral nutrition. Blood Transfusions: IV access is necessary for administering blood and blood products to patients suffering from anemia, trauma, or undergoing major surgeries.
