    Study Notes

    • Gather and prepare IV equipment including an elastic constricting band, antiseptic wipes, IV catheter, saline flush, IV administration set, etc.
    • IV solution bags come in different fluid volumes and are wrapped in protective sterile bags with access ports at the bottom.
    • Administration sets move fluid from the IV bag to the patient, with micro drip sets allowing 60 drops per ml and macro drip sets for rapid fluid replacement.
    • Criteria for choosing an IV site include selecting a vein section with a straight appearance, avoiding areas of trauma or infection, and avoiding veins with track marks.
    • Choosing a catheter involves selecting the largest diameter catheter that fits the vein, considering the patient's age, and the need for IV administration.
    • Techniques for inserting IVs include keeping the bevel side of the catheter up, applying a constricting band above the site, and holding the catheter bevel side up while advancing it into the vein.
    • To prevent complications like infiltration or hematoma, apply direct pressure if necessary and monitor the IV site closely.
    • Troubleshooting IV flow issues may involve checking the IV fluid, administration set, catheter type, and constricting bands.
    • Complications like local site reactions, inflammation, or nerve damage can occur during IV therapy and must be addressed promptly.
    • In cases of accidental arterial puncture, apply direct pressure to control bleeding, discontinue IV administration, and monitor the patient for systemic reactions like anaphylaxis.
