What Should Patients Expect During and After IV Infusion?
During the IV infusion, patients can expect to sit or lie comfortably while the medication is administered. The infusion duration can vary from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the treatment type. After the infusion, patients may need to stay for observation to monitor for any immediate side effects. It's important to follow any post-infusion care instructions provided by the healthcare team, such as staying hydrated and resting.
