The term "intravenous" is derived from Latin:
Intravenous refers to the administration of a substance directly into a vein. It is a method of delivering medication, fluids, or other substances into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and allowing for rapid absorption.
The term "intravenous" was first used in the 17th century to describe the injection of substances into the veins of animals for experimental purposes. It was not until the 19th century that intravenous therapy was developed for human use. The first recorded intravenous injection in a human was performed in 1853 by the French surgeon Charles-Gabriel Pravaz.
Intravenous therapy is commonly used in healthcare settings for various purposes, including:
