Toronto - Intravenous Therapy
Intravenous therapy is a way to inject fluid into the body to heal the patient.
Intravenous injections and drips are used to
ensure a hundred percent bioavailability.
If medication is given in oral form, some of it is lost in the intestine before it
reaches the circulation and does not have the desired effect.
Moreover, patients who are unconscious or those who
require immediate effects will also be in need of intravenous injections.
Uses of Intravenous Therapy
Intravenous therapy is used for many reasons.
It is used to deliver medicine to the patient to ensure that the entire dose
has reached the circulation and to allow immediate effect.
Intravenous drips are also used to correct electrolyte
imbalance.
A mixture of sodium, potassium, and magnesium is infused into the patient to correct the imbalance and
regulate the electrolyte levels.
Blood transfusion is also possible with the use of intravenous therapy.
