When do you give a fluid bolus followed by a epidural?

A fluid bolus is typically administered before an epidural to ensure adequate hydration and maintain blood pressure, especially in laboring patients. This is particularly important because epidurals can cause vasodilation and hypotension. A common practice is to give a bolus of 500-1000 mL of isotonic fluid prior to the epidural placement to minimize the risk of maternal hypotension. After the fluid bolus, the epidural can be safely administered.


What is the Difference between bolus injection and bolus infusion?

A bolus injection is a single, rapid administration of a medication or fluid directly into the bloodstream. On the other hand, a bolus infusion involves administering a larger volume of medication or fluid over a short period, usually within minutes, to achieve a desired therapeutic effect. In summary, bolus injection is quick and immediate, while bolus infusion is more gradual but still delivered rapidly.

What is bolus in an infusion pump?

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).
