A glucose drip, often referred to as an intravenous (IV) glucose solution, is a method of administering glucose directly into the bloodstream to provide quick energy or to manage blood sugar levels in patients, particularly those who are unable to eat or have low blood sugar. It typically involves using a sterile IV bag containing a specific concentration of glucose solution, such as D5W (5% dextrose in water). The drip is administered through an IV catheter inserted into a vein, allowing for continuous or bolus delivery of glucose as needed. This method ensures rapid absorption and immediate effects on blood sugar levels.
