Vented IV sets, also known as vented IV tubing, are ideal for hard plastic or glass containers. Vented IV sets have a small vent that can be opened and closed to allow for air to enter and displace the fluid as it leaves. The fluid will not flow from a rigid IV container unless it is vented.

The vent should be open when infusing from noncollapsible containers (glass and semi-rigid plastic) and closed when infusing from collapsible plastic containers (bags). Steps: 1.
What are the different types of IV tubing?
There are a few main types of IV tubing: filtered IV set, vented IV tubing, non-vented IV tubing, and gravity tubing. Each type of IV tubing offers its own unique benefits and can be used for different purposes.
