intravenous

The word 'vía intravenosa' is derived from Spanish language. It can be translated to English as 'intravenous'. This term is often used in the medical field and it refers to an intervention in which a tube is inserted into a vein to allow for the direct administration of medication, fluids, or nutrients. Basically, it is a method that allows access to the body's venous system, thus making it possible to 'feed' the body from within, bypassing the digestive tract. It is an essential procedure in modern medicine.
