insight on risks due to potential complications. The journal did not discuss risk but it did talk about keeping the patient safe to avoid risks . The next journal “Prevention of Peripheral Venous Catheter Complications with an Intravenous Therapy Team” suggest some risk factors and how to avoid complications due to IV catheter insertion. In the journal “Complication of intravenous therapy” a study included 130 patients that received intravenous therapy. In this case there was no sign of septicemia

The Use of Ultrasound to Guide Peripheral Intravenous Insertion Jeddy Odera and Phuong Hoang The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center December 08, 2016 Author Note This paper is created for HS Fundamental of Writing and Critical Thinking Fall 2016 Abstract The application of ultrasound to insert peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVs) has been clinical practicing in medical field for years. It becomes a highly precise technique that is required a fundamental knowledge as well

Emergency and critical care can be the most challenging parts of nursing and some of the most rewarding as it is carrying out intensive care for patients which may not always end well or may have the best result. Emergency care begins at arrival, and the scenario starts with a triage. Triage is when the veterinary nurse (VN) or veterinary surgeon (VS) have to determine the treatment or advice they will give based on the severity of the patients condition (Cooper, 2011). For example, if there was

The Use of Intravenous Pumps to Reduce Medication Errors Angelina David Adelphi University Introduction Intravenous infusion therapy is an infusion of fluids directly into the patient’s bloodstream via a vein using an intravenous catheter. It is frequently used in hospital settings for patients that require a rapid onset of medication and for those who are unable to receive medications orally. According to Adams and Urban (2012), intravenous (IV) infusion is considered to be the most dangerous

Medical care has become reliant on intravenous infusion for medications, fluids, and nutrient administration. Peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheters are the easiest and most frequently used method to deliver these infusions, but they also have complications (Shah, Ng, & Sinha, 2011). Some complications of PIVs include thrombosis, dislodgement, leaking, phlebitis, scar formation, and extravasation. Interventions have been researched and trialed to prolong the use of PIVs including intermittent heparin

stands for, what peripheral intravenous catheters are and what they are used for. I will even discuss sites for peripheral IV’s. I will explain what a central venous catheter is, what it is used for, and the types of catheters out there. I will explain the procedure on how to insert one, how to change the dressing, the safety guidelines to follow for insertion, and how to discontinue a central venous catheter. Discussion of what a patient needs to know about having a central venous catheter is included

PERIPHERAL VENOUS ACCESS: DIFFICULTIES AND LATEST TECHNOLOGIES FOR VEIN VISUALIZATION Introduction: Peripheral venous access in infants and children is technically challenging. Not only in children but also in adults veins may be difficult to locate in some cases. Peripheral venous access is usually required for administration of fluids or medications in hospitalized patients. Even for experts, peripheral venipuncture in infants and adolescents is difficult because of small and deeply-located veins

Introduction Central venous catheters (CVCs) insertion is an important component of management of patients receiving high dose chemotherapy for haematological malignancies and undergoing stem cell transplantation.1 All these patients are severely immunocompromised and have prolonged neutropenia. CVCs facilitate fluid and electrolyte management, chemotherapy and antibiotics administration and monitoring central venous pressures in this special group of patients. However, these indwelling catheters require continuous

term PICC line it maybe rather confusing; that is unless you’re in the medical profession or have a family member that has one. First, the name that groups all of them together is called; a central venous catheter. A PICC line is just one of many. It is described as a peripherally inserted central catheter; otherwise called PICC line. It is a long, thin, flexible tube that is inserted under the skin into a vein in the arm rather than a vein in the neck or chest. (“WebMD”). The purpose of the PICC is

Reducing Hospital Acquired Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Bloodstream Infections Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) can be used for routine patient care for treatment and have been increasingly used over the past years. They are more invasive than a peripheral intravenous line (PIV); however, they can be inserted at the bedside, are easily removed, and provide many positive benefits. PICCs relieve patients from frequent venipuncture for serial lab draws, decreases frequent re-starts
