IV stands for intravenous; meaning into the vein. Infusion means the process of administering a medication through the IV. An IV is usually place in a patient's hand, or arms and provides a site of access to the patient's blood stream. Infusions of medications given though an IV work much quicker than medications taken by mouth, because they do not have to be absorbed by the gastrointestinal track. The way that IV's work is a needle is inserted into the skin and then into a blood vessel within the body. The needle has a plastic sheath, or covering on it, that is then slid off and left in the vein as the needle is removed. Once the needle has been removed a small hose is connected to open tube in the vein. The other end of the small hose is connected to an elevated bag or bottle that contains medication. Essentially an IV infusion is like having a small hose pouring medicine into your blood vessel.
