Pharmacy Times features this story about intravenous push administration of antibiotics regaining popularity as fluid shortages arise.

Over the past several years, intravenous push (IVP) administration of antimicrobials has gained renewed interest due to its practical advantages in both inpatient and outpatient settings. This rapid drug delivery strategy can be beneficial in time-sensitive scenarios, such as sepsis cases, and is increasingly utilized in the emergency department, where early antibiotic administration is critical for improving clinical outcomes.
