Common Questions
V is short for intravenous (in the vein). We provide hydration by using a small catheter that’s placed directly into your vein. This allows us to hydrate you more effectively and efficiently than if you were to drink water. Yes, there is a small poke with a small needle, but once the vein is accessed, the needle comes out and the plastic catheter is left in it’s place.
Side effects are generally non-existent or very mild. On occasion, you may experience some discomfort, bruising, redness, itching, inflammation, or redness at or around the site of injection that could last from a few minutes to several days. True allergic reactions are extremely rare. However, if you experience throat swelling, pruritic body rash, dangerously low blood pressure, or symptoms associated with anaphylaxis following administration of an injection, visit your nearest emergency department. If you know you are allergic to any of the ingredients — please avoid it!
Many Americans have a fear of needles, and everyone’s tolerance to pain is different. However, most patients barely feel the placement of a standard IV. Some healthcare providers will pre-treat the skin with a very cold spray to numb the area and minimize any discomfort. If the IV starts to hurt during infusion, the clinician should be notified.
