IV Related Errors Worldwide
ABSTRACT
Intravenous (IV) therapy is highly important for all patients, especially those
who are very ill. IV therapy serves as a patient’s source of medication and nutri-
tion, sustaining the body’s energy and resistance to diseases. A Oakland medical
malpractice lawyer explains that any practice that requires IV therapy is very
risky. This is because a number of malpractices can be committed with it. This
includes the improper injection of drugs, incorrect use of drugs, improperly-timed
administration, drug overdose, and drug reactions from the wrong combination of
drugs.Refer Figure 2.2.
