2. IV Therapy
• The intravenous route is the fastest way to
deliver medications, fluid replacement and
blood product throughout the body. It is
considered the fastest route because the
circulatory system carries the product.
Intravenous therapy may be used for fluid
replacement (such as correcting dehydration),
to correct electrolyte imbalances, to deliver
medications, and for blood transfusions.
3. Warm Up Scenario
Your best friend, Kira McBride, just finished running a 5K for
breast cancer at Patterson Park (weather has been 90 degrees
and hot). She feels light headed, thirsty, nauseated and has
muscle cramps. She is confused, has blurred vision and a
headache. You take her to Johns Hopkins Emergency room
where they find her blood pressure low and her heart rate to be
110 bpm. The ER nurse starts a 20 gauge IV in her right hand.
They infuse her with two liters Normal Saline and give her IV
Zofran for nausea. She is discharged home and feels much
better.
What is your assessment?
4. Objectives

Editor's Notes
Intravenous therapy has changed over the years. The skill of placing an intravenous catheter was once thought to be for the emergency nurse or intensive care nurse, but this is no longer the case. Today’s nurses are actively involved in steps to critically think through and actively manage the vascular access site. This presentation is to assist you with IV placement and to become familiar with critical thinking and steps to manage the intravenous site. Students will have an opportunity to place an IV using simulation t the end of class and to evaluate each other. Can I assist you in learning more about developing this skill? Teacher then pairs two or three people up to work in groups gives out tourniquets and IV check list proficiency.

Todays objectives are listed here. This presentation is to assist you in becoming familiar with IV therapy and best practices. Does anyone have any experience with placing IV’s or experience infusing through an IV? Feel free to ask questions. Students who are familiar with the procedure can assist others to become confident in this skill. Everyone will have an opportunity to practice using IV simulation. This includes practicing with and understanding the materials used within the IV kit. Important safety measures will include avoiding needle sticks and understanding that no one will be inserting needles on people only on the simulator. The simulation arm will be used at the end of class for practice time and then to evaluate your knowledge on the steps to place an IV. It is the nurses responsibility to assess the IV in the patients arm. The nursing assessment includes looking for pain, redness, tenderness and continued patency. If the IV is painful, stop any infusion and remove it. The nurse flushes the IV catheter to assess the site and check for patency.
First, lets cover the benefits of intravenous therapy. Can anyone suggest the various ways we administer therapies with intravenous access? Intravenous therapy is one of the fastest and most effective way to administer therapies. This list documents the various ways in which IV therapy can benefit the patient.
To help you become familiar with the IV insertion, here is a list of supplies to insert an IV. Before we get started, I would like you to turn to your assigned partner and identify an area on his or her arm where you would potentially insert an IV. You may use a tourniquet, which was handed out in class. Some IV therapists can see the veins and some insert the IV by feel. Identify a vein on your assigned partner’s arm where you would potentially place an IV. Does it feel spongy or are you able to visualize the vein? Take a look at the hand out (see slide eleven). The hand out lists the appropriate steps to take when placing an IV. Feel free to help each other to identify the equipment listed here in your IV insertion kit. Can you explain to each other the purpose of each item in the IV kit?
Gloves are used for personal protection; tourniquet is used to plump up veins; J-loop is filled with normal saline (flush) and is used to flush the IV with saline. It is connected to the IV hub, then taped and tegaderm (dressing) is placed over top. Gauze is used to absorb any bleeding and the chloraprep is used to decontaminate the skin. The various needle is used to cannulate the vein.

Always identify your patient and obtain an physician’s order when placing the IV. Can anyone tell me two ways to identify patients? Make sure there is a doctor’s order to place an IV and the person placing the IV should only attempt two sticks. Any more than two attempts and another nurse or IV therapist should start the IV. Precautions should always be used when performing venipuncture or obtaining labs. In general, procedure gloves are adequate protection but you may need additional protective barriers depending on the likelihood of splashing of bodily fluids from insertion. Protection is always a good idea during any procedure. Wash your hands with the bacteriostatic soap prior to each IV insertion. Discard and remove protective gloves and wash your hands again after procedure has ended.
How many sticks can you attempt on a patient? Answer: two Call another IV expert to help you obtain access.
Some patients are unable to use both arms for the IV site. Always ask the patient if both arms are ok for an intravenous needle. When a patient has had a mastectomy or fistula, the arm is compromised and should not be used for IV placement. Always ask the patient if there is any hardware in place in the arm you are assessing for an IV. If the patient has had a stroke, it is best to place an IV in the opposite arm of the stroke side. The blood flow has been compromised on that side, so we do not place an IV unless there is a doctor’s order to specifically do this.
Superficial veins are usually best suited for IV venipuncture, since they lie near the surface in loose connective tissue. Superficial veins can be seen easily. They are not deep. Can anyone tell me the difference between an artery and a vein? What would you do if you accidentally placed an IV into an artery?
The inserter should always be on the alert to distinguish between arteries and veins. Never infuse a medication into an artery, this can lead to serious complications such as necrosis, irritation or severe hematoma formation. Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Veins do not have a pulse. Arteries have a pulse and this may or may not be felt by the IV inserter. Always avoid placing an IV into an artery, blood will pulse out of the IV in spurts. If this happens, remain calm. Remove the IV and hold pressure for 5-10 minutes, check for clotting after removal. Best practice is to avoid arteries or pulsating sites. Remember, if it has a pulse – it is an artery.
The arteries and veins are composed of three layers of tissue. Does anyone recall the three layers within a vessel? These layers are called tunica intuma (inner layer), tunica media (middle layer), and tunica adventitia (outer layer). Like any tissue of the body, blood vessels need to obtain oxygen and nutrients from the blood. The nurse should be aware of any redness, tenderness swelling or pain at the area of insertion. Any indication of pain at the insertion site should be an indication to remove the IV and assist the area to heal.

Can everyone see the anatomy of their veins exactly like this picture here? (maybe funny). See if you can locate some of these veins either on yourself or the person sitting next to you. Can anyone identify (show and tell) the landmarks on their own anatomy?
The most commonly used sites for children and adults are the dorsal venous network, dorsal metacarpal and basilica veins – these are located on the back of the hand. Cephalic vein is at the wrist and may cause discomfort with wrist motion and irritation to the tunica intima from the cannula movement. Areas of flexion should be avoided as the IV can become dislodged and cause discomfort. Cephalic vein is in the inner arm and it is usually smaller than the basilica. The basilic vein is the largest vein and runs along the inner arm. The median cubital vein runs from the antecubital area to the lower inner arm and joins with the basilic vein. The median vein of the forearm is in the inner most area of the forearm, it joins with the basilica vein.

The size and gauge of the needle matter and can influence how rapid you infuse fluids, blood, etc. This chart is a quick reference for choosing needle size and various uses for each size needle and various flow rates.
Can anyone tell me about needle sizes and identify reasons for different sizes used? Needle sizes get smaller as the gauge gets bigger, so if you have a 16 gauge needle, this would be very large. For example a 26 gauge (violet) iv can be used when inserting in pediatric patients it is very small. . A very large 16 gauge needle can be used for dialysis or is necessary in a rapid response situation.
According to Schuster et al (2016), this list of IV insertion steps will assist you when working in pairs on the simulation arm. After practicing, check your fellow student off on her technique on inserting an IV. IV needles are for use on the simulator only, please discard them in the sharps container provided. This is your hand out, please complete and turn this in at the end of class. I will be going around the room to assist with insertion technique. Please become familiar with the equipment.

Before placing a needle into the skin, it is very important to scrub the insertion site for 30 seconds. Chloraprep is a broad spectrum antiseptic that significantly reduces microorganisms on the skin which cause infection. When you insert a needle through the skin you can insert microorganisms which can cause infection. It is very important to scrub the area and let it dry. Do not contaminate the area by touching it with your hands or you will need to scrub the site again.
The above video offers some tips to placing an IV. Please watch this 4.5 minute video and then you can practice on the simulation arm for ten minutes using . You will pair up with your assigned partner and check each other off on the steps listed with the help of the handout to guide you.
Along with your partner’s assessment sheet, please put the answers to the following questions at the bottom of the sheet. Make sure your name is at the top of the form so that you receive credit.
