The higher the bag is hung, the greater the gravitational pressure on the IV fluid to go downward through the tubing; if the IV bag is not hung high enough, there will not be enough pressure caused by gravity to force the fluid into the vein.

Answer:
So, all IV bags must be hung above the patient's heart in order for there to be enough pressure for the IV fluid to infuse, and it is standard procedure to hang the IV bag at least 3 feet above an adult patient's heart to ensure there is enough pressure to keep the IV running at a constant rate.
