Intravenous technology stems from studies on cholera treatment in 1831 by Dr Thomas Latta of Leith. Intravenous therapy was pioneered by Italian physician Guido Baccelli in the late 1890s and further developed in the 1930s by Hirschfeld, Hyman and Wanger but was not widely available until the 1950s.
