English term or phrase: IV fluids

Hi
I know somehow IV fluids is widely translated and known as "링게르" in Korea. But I'm translating a medical document targeted for Korean audiences in the US. Should I continously use same "링게르" term? Or, should I translate it as somehow "아이비 액" or some other term? What would be the correct translation of IV fluids? Thank you.

정맥주사

Explanation:
I have also encountered your dilemma, I used to use "링겔" and oneday while interpreting, I used "정맥주사" which I believed was the correct term. And I realised people had no proplem understanding "정맥주사". So why not go with the medically correct term?

또는 정맥을 개방해 두기 위한 목적 또는 급속 수액 요법을 위한 것일 경우 그냥 수액이라고도 씁니다. 그러나 정맥을 통한다는 것을 구체적으로 적시해야할 필요가 있다면 역시 정맥 주사액이 좋겠습니다.
