An IV bolus is usually just normal saline (or water) that is given to patients who are dehydrated from nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It can be given if your heart rate is too high (tachycardia), fever, or if you have swelling in which you are storing more fluid in your 3rd spacing (or skin) than in your vasculature (veins and arteries).

Several things in the field of medicine are referred to as a 'bolus'. A bolus can be an injection of medicine or drugs directly into the bloodstream, a shot of fast-acting insulin taken with food, a lump of just-administered liquid that has not yet dispersed, and a type of pill for livestock.
Bolus
IV bolus: Usual doses (i.e., less than 80 mg) can be given slowly over 1-2 minutes. If higher doses are needed, a continuous infusion is recommended, which usually results in better efficacy and a reduced risk of side effects. The rate for continuous infusion: 20 to 160 mg/hr.
A bolus is a lump of food
bolus of food is food that is unhealthy
Bolus is the food that is mashed up in your mouth. After it is digested in the stomach, the food is called chyme. Bolus is more alkaline than chyme because it is exposed to alkaline saliva. Teeth and saliva turn food into bolus. It is then swallowed and passes through the esophagus into the stomach. Chyme has a higher acidity content than bolus because it was exposed to hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Chyme enters the small intestine after digestion in the stomach.
