Dehydration can be a very serious condition if not dealt with quickly. While the condition is ultimately quite dangerous, it can easily sneak up on adult patients if they’re over exerting themselves without proper hydration and nutrition. Even mild dehydration can inflict problems that affect daily life and cause long term issues which could be quickly mitigated through IV hydration.
Nebraska Home Pediatrics & Parents offers adult hydration services for patients in need of fluid replacement when at-home methods aren’t effective enough for recovery.
Benefits of Drip Hydration
IV hydration, or drip hydration therapy, is a method of replenishing fluids when a patient needs rehydration quickly, and their own hydration methods aren’t working well enough to aid in full recovery.
Dehydration and severe dehydration can occur because of a number of issues, including high fevers, physical overexertion when already dehydrated, and excessive diarrhea or vomiting. Intravenous hydration helps patients reach an optimal level of hydration quickly and has been said to reduce general fatigue, improve organ function, and can help with joint, skin, and muscle function.
Receiving IV hydration services from your primary care clinic is the safest way to receive these services, as they are administered by trained professionals who are familiar with your medical history.

What is IV Hydration?
Intravenous hydration at Nebraska Home Pediatrics & Parents administers necessary fluids directly to the bloodstream via an IV, which helps achieve accelerated dehydration recovery. This can be critical in severe dehydration cases, but shouldn’t be discounted in cases of mild dehydration, especially when the patient is suffering from other illnesses or issues.
The professionals at our Omaha clinic are extensively trained in administering necessary IV care, and will ensure that your drip hydration experience is stress-free and effective.

Treating Dehydration in Adults
Most adults can safely rehydrate at home. As soon as you first notice signs of dehydration, begin rehydrating by consuming fluids that contain electrolytes, such as sports drinks or oral rehydration solutions. Certain foods, like fruits and vegetables, have a high water content and can also assist with rehydration.
If you are unable to rehydrate safely at home, it is time to contact a medical provider for evaluation. Nebraska Home Pediatrics & Parents also offers IV fluids for rehydration in adults. We have three exam rooms furnished with reclining chairs and televisions so you can sit back and relax while receiving your IV fluids.
