A fluid bolus is the rapid administration of IV fluid (ex. normal saline or lactated ringers) given to increase intravascular volume.
IV push: a term used when giving a medication rapidly (less than 30 seconds). Except in emergent situations very few medications are given this way. (adeniosine & atropine are examples) IV Bolus: a term referring to giving a medication over 1-5 minutes. When referring to IV fluid it usually means wide open or within a given time frame ( 1 Liter Normal Saline IV bolus over 1 hour ).
"NS" stands for normal saline, which is an IV fluid solution consisting of water with 0.9% sodium chloride dissolved in it. 500 cc means 500 milliliters, or half a liter. A bolus means that it should be given all at once, as fast as the patient's IV will tolerate. For an IV drip like this, that is typically at a rate of 1000 ml/hr. So this order is for a half liter of normal saline IV fluid to be administered quickly over a half hour.
The usual rate for an IV bolus of Normal Saline in a 2-month-old infant is typically around 10-20 mL/kg, administered over 5-20 minutes, depending on the clinical situation and the doctor's orders. It's important to monitor the infant closely for any signs of fluid overload or adverse reactions. Always follow specific protocols and guidelines set by the healthcare facility.
An IV bolus is usually just normal saline (or water) that is given to patients who are dehydrated from nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It can be given if your heart rate is too high (tachycardia), fever, or if you have swelling in which you are storing more fluid in your 3rd spacing (or skin) than in your vasculature (veins and arteries).

For a patient who has achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest, the recommended intravenous (IV) bolus is typically 1 to 2 liters of isotonic crystalloid solution, such as normal saline or lactated Ringer's solution. This is done to address potential hypovolemia and support hemodynamic stability. Continuous monitoring of vital signs and fluid response is essential to guide further fluid administration.
The bolus is a ball of food that is formed by the teeth, tongue, and salivary glands during the process of chewing and mixing food with saliva in the mouth. It is then swallowed and moves down the esophagus to the stomach for further digestion.
A bolus is a lump of food
Bolus isn't a specific kind of food. A bolus is a chewed up mass of food that is (generally) on its way from the mouth to the stomach.
