Study Notes
Pre-Procedures
- Check doctor's order and greet patient
- Assess patient's level of consciousness and anxiety
- Provide privacy
- Wash hands
During Cannulation
- Wash hands
- Select the site and vein:
- No wound or rashes
- Vein is big enough, straight, soft, and visible through the skin
Complications of Intravenous Therapy
Hematoma
- Resulting from infiltration of blood into tissues at the venipuncture site
- Related to venipuncture technique
- Use of large bore cannula: Trauma to the vein during insertion
- Patients receiving anticoagulant therapy and long-term steroids
Hypoxia
- Present when PaO2 is less than 60 mmHg or SpO2 by pulse oximeter is less than 90%
- Causes:
- Hypoventilation
- Low inspired oxygen
- Increased oxygen consumption (e.g., shivering, sepsis, pain)
- Low cardiac output
- Anatomic shunt: refractory to oxygen therapy
- Clinical conditions that may delay gastric emptying and increase risk of aspiration:
- Anxiety
- Autonomic dysfunction (gastroparesis)
- Hiatal hernia / GERD
- Morbid obesity
- Pregnancy
- Bowel obstruction
- Head trauma / increased intracranial pressure
- Multi-trauma
IM Injections
- Deltoid muscle injection technique:
- Injection given between upper and lower portions of the deltoid muscle
- Ventrogluteal Region:
- Lies in close proximity to the gluteal region
- Primary use is for IM injection in patients who are bedridden and unable to lie face down
- Sciatic nerve:
- One of the longest nerves in the body
- Risk of paralysis if hit during injection
Submucosal Sedation
- Used in pediatric dentistry
- CNS-depressant drug is injected into the mucous membrane in either the maxillary or mandibular buccal fold
- Advantage over IM administration: slightly more rapid onset of clinical action
Inhalation Sedation
- Form of conscious sedation
- Inhaled drug:
- Depresses the central nervous system (CNS) to an extent that allows operative treatment with minimal physiological and psychological stress
- Modifies the patient's state of mind such that communication is maintained and the patient can respond to verbal command
- Carries a margin of safety wide enough to render the unintended loss of consciousness and loss of protective reflexes unlikely
- Advantages:
- Onset of action is more rapid than oral, rectal, intranasal (IN), or intramuscular (IM) sedation
- Peak clinical action in a time span permitting titration
- Recovery time is rapid
- No adverse effects on liver, kidneys, brain, or cardiovascular and respiratory systems
- N2O-O2 can be used instead of local anesthesia in certain procedures
- Analgesia produced by a 20% concentration of N20 is equivalent to that of 10 to 15 mg of morphine
