		Drips come in numerous forms, and we tend to call them lines describing where each tube is actually going into the body.
		They are also connected to drips and monitors and they provide a means of putting multiple different fluids at the same time into the body and for measuring the pressures around the heart.

	Intravenous drips are overkill for treating children with gastroenteritis, survey finds - National - www.smh.com.au
		The widespread practice of rehydrating children suffering from gastroenteritis using an intravenous drip is unjustified, and fluids given orally or via a nasal tube may be just as effective and safer, Sydney doctors say.
		"Intravenous therapy may be regarded as 'better' simply because it cannot be performed at home, and health care practitioners wish to provide something extra after oral rehydration has been attempted by parents," the doctors wrote.
		He agreed the techniques were equally effective, but said an advantage of using a drip was that a needle was already in the arm, making it easier to take blood samples to check markers of the child's progress.
