Intravenous (IV) technology stems from studies on cholera treatment in 1831 by Dr Thomas Latta of Leith, Scotland. It was further developed in the 1930s by Hirschfeld, Hyman and Wanger at Columbia University, but was not widely available until the 1950s.
For venipuncture in general , there is evidence to suggest that Ancient Egyptians used a slim hollow reed for bloodletting, and perhaps for post-mortem exsanguination prior to burial prepaparations .
The characters "IV" used as number come from the Roman numeral system and represent the number four (4).
In addition, the characters "IV" can also stand for:
- independent variable
- immigrant visa
- in vitro (cell culture grown in a dish)
- interactive video
- Ivory Coast (the African county now called Cote d'Ivoire)
- initial value
- input voltage
- initial velocity
- intelligent vehicles
