Types of Intravenous Infusion Fluids

Proper blood and body fluid composition maintenance is essential for alleviating dehydration and replacing lost fluids, especially blood and water lost through surgery, injury, vomiting, or exercise. Other functionalities include improved mental performance, digestion, skin health, brain, kidney, and heart functions, and evacuating waste and toxins from the body. The most common method of infusion therapy, which involves delivering fluids and medication directly into the bloodstream, is through injection through the veins, commonly referred to as the intravenous (IV) method.
