DHE IV treatment is dihydroergotamine given via IV. It is always given in a hospital setting, usually in several separate doses over a couple of days, although sometimes as a singular dose - if a single dose is what works for that patient.

IV push: a term used when giving a medication rapidly (less than 30 seconds). Except in emergent situations very few medications are given this way. (adeniosine & atropine are examples) IV Bolus: a term referring to giving a medication over 1-5 minutes. When referring to IV fluid it usually means wide open or within a given time frame ( 1 Liter Normal Saline IV bolus over 1 hour ).
The maximum IV in one stat is 31.
Drugs, such as epinephrine, atropine, naloxone, and lidocaine can be given via the endotracheal route if IV access has not been obtained yet. The dose for epinephrine, rather than 1mg IV, should be 5mg endotracheally, followed by 5 to 10 mL of saline and several rapid breaths to aerosolize it into the lungs. ACLS currently recommends this approach, but there have been no studies showing benefit to this route of administration. I would recommend rapid IV access, and if no IV access if available within 90 seconds, placement if an intraosseous line should be attempted immediately afterwards and all medications given through that line. That is standard practice at many hospitals in this area as well as many EMS services.
