I like to hang 0.9% NS to gravity when possible because I always thought that the fluids would stop infusing if the IV site blows. A co-worker of mine disagrees and said that IV fluids hung to gravity would continue to flow and infiltrate if an IV site blows.
Safety considerations: 1  Primary IV tubing can be macro-drip or micro-drip tubing. The drop factor of the IV tubing is required to complete the IV drip rate calculation for a gravity infusion. 2  Remember to invert all access ports and backcheck valve.
