describe the differences between intravenous fluid and blood
Intravenous fluid
An intravenous (IV) bottle is placed high above the patient's arm to use gravity to facilitate the flow of the IV fluid into the bloodstream. This positioning creates hydrostatic pressure, allowing the fluid to flow more easily through the IV line and into the patient's body. Additionally, it helps maintain a steady and controlled administration rate of the medication or fluid being delivered.

The intravenous fluid itself causes the puffiness and bloating. Your body isn't use to retaining that much liquid, so the tissues become a bit sodden.
It indicates the volume of the bottle - 1 pint and 7.7 fluid ounces. An Imperial pint has 20 fluid ounces, so if the bottle is European it holds 27.7 fluid ounces. An American pint has 16 fluid ounces, so if the bottle is American it holds 23.7 fluid ounces.
no it is not If it does leak you've got defective equipment ... change it.
