👉 The IV fluid, or Intravenous Fluid, is a type of crystalloid solution used for administering fluids directly into a vein during intravenous (IV) therapy. It is designed to maintain or restore fluid balance, support blood pressure, and provide essential nutrients and electrolytes to the body. IV fluids are categorized based on their osmolarity, with solutions like Normal Saline (0.9% NaCl) and Lactated Ringer's being commonly used. These fluids help in managing various medical conditions, such as dehydration, shock, and electrolyte imbalances, by ensuring adequate hydration and supporting vital bodily functions.
