First began in the 17th century 19th century-infection control procedures mid 1950’s-used for surgery and

hydration(20%) Today approximately 90 % of pts in

hospital receive IV’s Skilled nursing homes, doctors office

and home

Fluid and electrolyte maintenance, restoration and replacement

Administer medications and nutritional feedings

Give blood and blood products Chemotherapy Patient controlled analgesics KVO for quick access

Oral medications-absorbed in the digestive tract

IV- faster acting and distributed throughout the bloodstream immediately after giving

Unconscious pt: Unable to swallow: Vomiting: Nutrition: Others?

Pre-existing vascular compromise Regional infection

Adult: Antibiotic: Arterial Line: Aspirate: Central Line: Central Venous Access Device: (CVAD’S)

Continuous Infusions: Controlled Analgesic: Drip Factor: Electronic Pumps and Controllers: Flow Rate:ml/hr or gtts/min Infiltration: Infusion Devices:

Thru peripheral IV sites-depend on gravity for administration- must be 24-36 inches above IV sites

If patient changes positions volume decreases-back pressure greater, rate slows or stops

Simplest controllers-roller or slide clamp Use to speed up or slow, counts gtts in

drip chamber

Apply external pressure to administration set tubing to run at specified rate

Specific volume/time More accurate Alarm systems-kinks, air, occlusion Disadvantage-Cost of equipment,

maintenance, more serious infiltration.
