An IV, or intravenous therapy, is an infusion of liquid directly into the blood stream. Any liquid medication can be given by IV.
The only IV fluid that can be administered simultaneously w/ blood is Normal Saline Solution 0.9%.
blood pH would increase

The only iv fluid used to start a blood transfusion in normal saline.
Saline solution cannot increase blood alcohol level.
A: Yes. Inserting plain water into an IV can kill a patient. The solution must be made of saline, an isotonic solution of sodium chloride and distilled water. If the IV is made of plain water, then it will be hypotonic to blood cells, causing them to burst.
Precipitation from the solution may lead to complications such as pulmonary microcapillary occlusion and blockage of blood flow.
its to do with osmotic pressure and osmolality of the iv contrast, usually when a hypertonic solution is injected it pushes the ECF (extra cellular fluid) into blood plasma, this is because the solution has a greater osmotic pressure and osmolality than normal fluid.
It's an antibiotic/antifungal in IV form.
A basic IV rehydration solution consists of sterile water with small amounts of sodium chloride (NaCl; salt) and dextrose (sugar) added. It is supplied in bottles or thick plastic bags that can hang on a pole or rolling stand.
