What is IV Push Injection (first drug)? Read the full explainer →

IV Push Injection (first drug)

An IV push is a drug delivered into a vein over a short period, by syringe or as a quick run through the line, with a clinician present the whole time. This code covers a single such push, or the first one in a visit. The difference between a push and an infusion is duration, not the drug — the same medicine can be either, depending on how fast it is given.
