If the medication/fluid will take more than 2â3 hours to go into the patient, itâs an infusion. If it will take less than 1 hour, itâs probably a bolus. If the medication is less than 20mL itâs neither, itâs an âIV Pushâ. If the medication will be a specified volume, and itâs going to take less than 3 hours, it might be a bolus.
