Description: I.V fluids are sterile solutions comprising of simple chemicals i.e, sugars, electrolytes and amino acids. An occasional patient with inferoposterior LV infarction also has extensive RV infarction. Prognosis in such patients is generally good provided with good suppoive care and recanalization therapy. Suppoive care includes I.V fluids administeration and on some occassion use of dobutamine positive inotropic therapy. Digoxin is indicated in atrial fibrillation. Diuretics and vasodilators are used to reduce preload and afterload. Ref: Harrison's Internal Medicine, 18th Edition, Pages 2032, 1883
