How do you sterilize an IV solution in the bag for use in the OR?

Sterilizing an IV solution in its bag is not typically performed in the operating room (OR) because the solutions are pre-sterilized during manufacturing. If additional sterility is needed, the bag should be handled in a sterile manner, and aseptic techniques should be employed. Any preparation or manipulation should occur in a sterile field, often using a laminar flow hood. If there's a need for further sterilization, a filtration method using a sterile filter can be applied, but this is uncommon for IV solutions already provided in sterile packaging.
