Intravenous drugs are given through a CVC in these ways:
- The drugs can be given quickly through IV tubing right from a syringe over a few minutes; this is called an IV push.
- An IV infusion can last 30 minutes to a few hours. A mixed drug solution flows from a plastic bag.
- Continuous infusions are sometimes needed and can last from 1 to 7 days
