Intravenous use

Any injection or infusion which is given directly into a vein <ref>{{cite web|url=http://web.archive.org/web/20080117051607/http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/courses_vm551_crd/notes/fluidrx_text.asp |title=Intravenous Route--Explanation & Photos|publisher=Washington State University}}</ref>. 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 <ref>{{cite web|url=http://veterinarycalendar.dvm360.com/avhc/Medicine/Insulin-therapy-Past-present-and-future-Proceeding/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/562350 |title=Insulin therapy: Past, present and future (Proceedings)|author=Gordon, Jana|year=2008|publisher=DVM 360}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://diabetesindogs.wikia.com/wiki/Absorption#Neutral|title=Absorption of Neutral Insulin}}</ref>.  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.
