IV THERAPY - AN OVERVIEW

Page 2: Iv basics anatomy and physiology

IV THERAPY - AN OVERVIEW

Intravenous therapy or IV therapy is the giving of liquid substances

directly into a vein.

Page 3: Iv basics anatomy and physiology

IV THERAPY - AN OVERVIEW

Compared with other routes of administration, the intravenous route is

the fastest way to deliver fluids and medications throughout the body.

Page 4: Iv basics anatomy and physiology

IV THERAPY - AN OVERVIEW

It is commonly referred to as a drip because it employs a

drip chamber, which prevents

air entering the blood stream (air embolism)

and allows an estimate of flow rate.

…the new access site has to be proximal to the "blown" area to prevent extravasation of medications through the damaged vein…

Page 17: Iv basics anatomy and physiology

…for this reason it is advisable to site the first cannula at the most distal site on the vein.

Interosseous Route The only alternative in emergency that is equally

reliable

Central Venous LinesCentral Lines flow through a catheter with its tip

within a large vein, usually the superior vena cava or inferior vena cava, or within

the right atrium of the heart.

ADVANTAGES• Fluids irritating to peripheral veins can

be given• Chemotherapy• Total parenteral nutrition

• Medications reach the heart

immediately, and are quickly distributed to the rest of the body.

• Central venous pressure can be

measured

DISADVANTAGES

• Risks of bleeding, infection, air embolism.

• Technically difficult– • needs experienced clinician

knowing the appropriate landmarks and/or

• using an ultrasound probe to safely locate and enter the vein.

• Pleura and carotid artery are at risk of damage with the potential for pneumothorax or puncture/ cannulation of the artery.

FEMORAL

• Emergency situations where it is difficult to cannulate Internal jugular vein or Subclavian vein

• High risk of infection

• Preferred for potassium infusions

Peripherally inserted central catheterADVANTAGES

• Safer to insert with a relatively low risk of uncontrollable bleeding no risks of damage to the lungs or major blood vessels.

• With proper hygiene, care, can be left in place for several weeks for patients who require extended treatment.

Central Venous LinesCentral Lines flow through a catheter with its tip

Peripherally inserted central catheterDISADVANTAGES

• Must travel through a relatively small peripheral vein which can take a less predictable course on the way to the superior vena cava . Hence, more technically difficult to place in some patients.

• Travels through the axilla.

Hence, can become kinked causing poor function.

Tunneled LinesHickman line or Broviac catheter

• “Tunneled" under the skin to emerge a short distance away. from the central vein

• Reduced risk of infection, since bacteria from the skin surface are not able to travel directly into the vein;

• Catheters are also made of materials that resist infection and clotting.

It is tunneled under the skin to the jugular vein

Implantable ports• Silicone rubber reservoir, implanted

under the skin. • Medication is injected via its silicone

cover, into the reservoir. • The cover can accept several

hundreds of needle sticks during its lifetime. It is possible to leave the ports in the patient's body for years.

Implantable ports

• Needs regular maintenance. If it is plugged a thrombus can form with the accompanying risk of embolisation

• Commonly used for patients on long-term intermittent treatment.

IV Fluids

• Crystalloids• Colloids

Page 35: Iv basics anatomy and physiology

IV Fluids

• Colloids

Page 36: Iv basics anatomy and physiology

IV Fluids

• Crystalloids

Page 37: Iv basics anatomy and physiology

IV Fluids

• Colloids

• Contain larger insoluble molecules, such as albumen.

• Preserve a high colloid osmotic pressure in the blood

• Blood itself is a colloid.

• Colloids

Page 39: Iv basics anatomy and physiology

IV Fluids

• Crystalloids

• Aqueous solutions of water-soluble molecules.

• The most commonly used crystalloid fluid is normal saline=, a solution of sodium chloride at 0.9% concentration, which is close to the concentration in the blood (isotonic).

• What is isotonic? • What is Iso-osmolar ?

• Don’t give in alkalosis• Don’t give in hyperkalemia• Don’t give with Blood• Mind its Calcium content, when

giving with Mg therapy

Page 47: Iv basics anatomy and physiology

• Don’t give potassium therapy with Dextrose containing solutions

IV Fluids

• Crystalloids

• When giving Dextrose containing solutions, add KCl to prevent hypokalemia

• When giving KCl in the treatment of hypokalemia, don’t add it to solutions containing Dextrose.
