IVPB Antibiotic
An intravenous piggyback (IVPB) delivery method for administering antibiotics through a secondary line attached to the primary IV line.
Microdrip Infusion Set
A medical apparatus designed for the administration of fluids and medications into patients, delivering small, precisely controlled drops per milliliter (usually 60 drops/ml).
Estimated Flow Rate
An approximation of the speed at which fluids are administered intravenously, often calculated to ensure proper medication dosing.
