Intravenous Therapy in Long-Term Care (Fraser Health) [English] Permalink Public

A brief description of IV therapy and how it is offered in residential care in Fraser Health. Intravenous (IV) means ‘into the vein’. Intravenous therapy is when we insert a small flexible tube (called an ‘IV catheter’) through the skin into a vein. This allows us to give fluid or medicine right into the blood stream. Veins carry blood toward the heart. (English) Colour
