Intravenous use

Latest revision as of 19:46, 26 May 2009

Any injection or infusion which is given directly into a vein^[1]. The medical abbreviation for it is "IV." Insulin is given in this way when someone has a diabetic emergency, as it is the way to get the short-acting soluble insulin working at the most rapid rate. Using insulin in this manner brings with it a high risk of hypoglycemia once blood glucose levels begin returning to normal. Careful professional monitoring is necessary; this makes it a hospital or ER procedure for both people and pets.


Cloudy insulins must never be injected intravenously. The subcategories below show which insulins can be used intravenously and which cannot.
