Perhaps while visiting a patient at the local hospital, you might have observed those tall posts adjacent to the patient’s bed with a bottle containing fluid and a tube extending up to the patient’s hand. These are IV or intravenous poles and are probably the simplest yet very vital medical equipments at health care facilities, in ambulances, beside operation tables etc. They ensure that the continuous and proportionate stream of fluids which may include medicines like antibiotics or glucose or blood for the patient. The bag or bottle is hung on the pole and the tube conveys the fluid to the patient’s veins. But the lesser known uses of these IV poles are that it can be used as support for blood warmers, infusion pumps and arterial pressure monitors that can be fastened to it.

IV poles can be very useful for other things, just like you say. I have been looking to find some IV poles for the hospital I work at. We have had our old ones for a very long time, and I think that it would be good to get some new ones. Then we might be able to use the old ones for something else, and then we wouldn't have to deal with the old ones anymore. http://centicare.com/iv_poles.html
