There are very few risks associated with IV Therapy, as it is an overall safe procedure. Although extremely rare, some rare complications may occur such as:
Infection: Skin-based bacteria may enter through the insertion site. Local cellulitis or systemic bacteremia is possible.
Phlebitis: Vein irritation. Due to the presence of the catheter/fluids or medication. Chronically ill patients require multiple and recurrent IV access.
