IV Hydration

IV hydration, also known as intravenous hydration therapy, is a medical procedure that delivers fluids and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This is done by inserting a needle into a vein and administering a saline solution or other IV fluid mixture.
IV hydration is typically used in hospitals and emergency rooms to treat dehydration, but it is also becoming increasingly popular as a wellness treatment. IV hydration can be used to improve athletic performance, boost energy levels, and help with hangover recovery. It can also be used to deliver vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that are difficult to absorb through the gut.

Here is a step-by-step description of a typical IV hydration service:
  1. The patient is seated in a comfortable chair or reclined on a bed.
  2. A registered nurse or other medical professional inserts a needle into a vein in the arm or hand.
  3. The IV fluid bag is hung from a pole and connected to the needle.
  4. The nurse or other medical professional adjusts the flow rate of the IV fluid to ensure that the patient is receiving the proper amount of fluids.
  5. The patient relaxes and receives the IV hydration treatment.

IV hydration treatments typically last 30-60 minutes. Once the treatment is complete, the nurse or other medical professional will remove the needle and apply a bandage to the site.

Risks of IV hydration:

  • Infection: There is a small risk of infection at the site of the IV insertion.
  • Allergic reaction: There is a small risk of an allergic reaction to the IV fluid.
  • Fluid overload: If too much fluid is administered too quickly, it can lead to fluid overload, which can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, swelling, and headache.
