Gloved hand reaches for an intravenous drip bag
Intravenous drip bag. Gloved hand reaches for an intravenous (IV) drip bag containing saline and glucose (sugar). When in use, a tube carries the solution into the bloodstream, usually through veins in the forearm. Saline and glucose are used to maintain body fluids in patients who are unable to eat or drink. An intravenous infusion, or drip, may also be used to provide other nutrients, to administer certain drugs, or to replace lost blood and plasma. The rate at which the saline enters the circulation is controlled by an adjustable valve. Rubber gloves help to maintain sterile conditions

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Science Photo Library, a gloved hand delicately reaches for an intravenous drip bag filled with saline and glucose. The image showcases the intricate process of delivering essential fluids into the bloodstream through veins in the forearm. The use of saline and glucose is crucial in maintaining body fluids for patients who are unable to consume food or drink. However, this versatile intravenous infusion can also be employed to administer vital nutrients, specific medications, or even replace lost blood and plasma. The adjustable valve visible in the picture allows healthcare professionals to control the rate at which the saline solution enters circulation. This ensures precise dosing tailored to each patient's needs. Sterility plays a pivotal role during medical procedures like these, as depicted by the presence of rubber gloves worn by the healthcare provider. These gloves help maintain a sterile environment necessary for safe administration. This still life photograph not only captures an important aspect of health care but also highlights how modern medicine has advanced over time. With its meticulous composition and attention to detail, this image from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of humanity's commitment to providing optimal care for those in need.
