To set up an IV piggyback, first gather the necessary supplies, including the secondary IV bag, tubing, and a primary IV line. Hang the secondary bag higher than the primary bag and connect the secondary tubing to the primary line at the Y-site. Open the clamp on the secondary line to allow the medication to flow while ensuring the primary line remains unclamped to maintain its infusion rate. Finally, monitor the infusion for any adverse reactions and adjust as necessary.
