* Intravenous therapy or IV therapy is the infusion of liquid substances directly into a vein. The word intravenous simply means "within a vein". Therapies administered intravenously are often called specialty pharmaceuticals.

Can a slow continuous intravenous therapy prolong the life of peripheral intravenous cannulae in the clinical setting? Introduction Background There is lack of current research evidence to suggest that continuous infusion also known as to ‘keep vein open’ to a peripheral intravenous cannula will prolong the life expectancy of a cannula. There is much discussion and debate among health care staff over the ability of a continuous infusion to prolong the life of a cannula. Many patients are often
