👉 Intravenous (IV) engineering is a specialized field that focuses on the design, development, and implementation of systems for delivering fluids, medications, and other substances directly into a patient's bloodstream via an IV line. This involves understanding fluid dynamics, pharmacokinetics, and biocompatibility to ensure safe and effective drug delivery. Engineers in this field design IV catheters, pumps, and infusion systems that minimize complications such as infections, clotting, and tissue damage. They also work on optimizing drug formulations to enhance absorption and efficacy, ensuring that patients receive the intended therapeutic effects while maintaining safety. Additionally, IV engineers collaborate with healthcare professionals to develop protocols and technologies that improve patient care and streamline clinical workflows.
