Umm wouldn’t they give her an IV BEFORE the event? Idiots if this is true and they didn’t. Oh wait, it isn’t true.

If it’s pneumonia and there is fluid buildup in the lungs or around the heart, medical professionals don’t do a big hydration — can make the pneumonia worse. Instead, they use diuretics, inhalants delivered through a CPAP or BIPAP, chest PT, antibiotics, and other therapies. Minimal IVs, only to deliver meds and prevent other problems.
