Infusion therapy is a way to deliver medication or fluids through a thin catheter or needle, usually intravenously (IV). At Northwestern Medicine, a wide range of specialized outpatient infusion services are provided by experienced registered nurses in a comfortable, peaceful setting.

During infusion or IV therapy, electronic computerized pumps control the rate of the infusion so that you safely get the right amount of medicine or fluids over the right amount of time.
