An intravenous line, also known commonly as an IV line, is a medical device used to deliver a liquid substance directly into a patient’s bloodstream. There are usually three primary components: a needle, a catheter, and a fluid bag. Care providers will insert the needle into a vein, basically using that needle to guide the catheter, which is a type of clear plastic tubing. That tubing, in turn, is attached to a fluid bag that will deliver medication, food, or hydration as needed. IV lines are really common in hospitals and emergency medicine situations, and they can be used for a number of different things. Intravenous administration will provide the most rapid onset of action of any parenteral route because there is no barrier to absorption. The drug is completely available to the body. Drugs that are too irritating for intramuscular or subcutaneous administration (e.g., chemotherapy agents) can be given by this route. Many different types of catheters (an indwelling soft tube) or needles are used to administer intravenous formulations. Placement of these devices is crucial to avoid problems of extravasation or infiltration.
