    priming it as in getting it ready to be connected to the patient the actaul process of you spiking the bag and pinching the drip chamber then releasing the clamp so the fluid will flow down it.

    New IV tubing is filled with air. The air needs to be removed before you connect the tubing to the patient or all the air will flow into the patient.

    Priming the tubing means filling the tubing with fluid, removing the air so that it can be safely connected to the patient. To do this, you need to attach a bag or syringe of fluid to the IV tubing and allow the fluid to flow through the tubing until it reaches the other end and all air bubbles are removed.
