Fluid administration is a medical process where fluids are given to patients to maintain or restore their body's fluid balance. This is often necessary for patients who are dehydrated, undergoing surgery, or experiencing certain medical conditions. The fluids can include saline, glucose, or electrolyte solutions, and they are typically delivered through an intravenous (IV) line. The goal of fluid administration is to ensure that the body has enough fluids to function properly. It helps in maintaining blood pressure, supporting organ function, and promoting healing. Healthcare professionals carefully monitor the amount and type of fluid given to each patient to meet their specific needs.
