Thousands of patients at risk from incorrect use of IV drips, warns Nice

This article was amended on 10 December 2013. The original headline and subheading incorrectly stated that thousands of patients were dying from incorrect use of IV drips, and that one in three patients die within days of surgery from too much fluid. These did not reflect the facts in the story and have been corrected.HospitalsHealthMedical researchThe National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice)NHSDoctorsHaroon Siddiquetheguardian.com © 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
