PVC bags for IV infusion are indicated for the intravenous administration of various fluids and medications, including but not limited to:

• Normal saline (0.9% Sodium Chloride)
• Dextrose solutions
• Potassium chloride solutions
• Antibiotics and other medications

• The dosage and administration of fluids and medications delivered via PVC bags depend on the specific prescription and patient's medical condition.
• Healthcare professionals, such as nurses or doctors, are responsible for calculating and setting the appropriate flow rate and volume to be administered based on the patient's weight, age, medical condition, and the prescribed medication.

Adverse reactions related to PVC bags for IV infusion are generally rare. They may include:

• Infection at the IV site
• Phlebitis (inflammation of the vein)
• Allergic reactions to the medications or fluids being infused
• Fluid overload
• Electrolyte imbalances (if incorrect fluids or concentrations are used)

• PVC bags for IV infusion should only be used by trained healthcare professionals to ensure proper aseptic technique and safe administration of fluids and medications.
• Ensure that the PVC bag and tubing are compatible with the medication being infused to prevent leaching of harmful substances into the solution.
• Regularly inspect the PVC bag and tubing for any signs of damage, leaks, or discoloration, and do not use if any such issues are present.
• Use caution when administering certain medications that may be incompatible with PVC material, as this could result in chemical reactions that affect drug stability or patient safety.
• Monitor the patient for signs of adverse reactions, fluid overload, or electrolyte imbalances during IV infusion.
