Equipment Preparation Remove tubing and IV fluid from
their protective coverings
![Page 7: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Equipment Preparation
Remove the protective tab from the spike port
![Page 8: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Equipment Preparation
Remove the protective cover from the spike (over the inspection bulb) of the IV tubing
![Page 9: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Assembly of IV Equipment Close the tubing by rotating the
thumb lock to the closed position
![Page 10: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Assembly of IV Equipment
Assemble the IV tubing to the IV fluid– Insert spike into spike port– Puncture seal with the spike
by using a twisting, pushing motion until spike is fully inserted
![Page 11: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Flushing the IV Tubing
Flush the line with the IV fluid– With the spike fully inserted
squeeze the drip chamber between the index finger and thumb and immediately release. The chamber will fill with the IV fluid
– Release the line clamp by rotating the thumb lock to the fully opened position.
![Page 12: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Flushing the IV Tubing
– Raise the IV fluid bag to allow for gravity flow
– Allow the IV fluid to fill the line completely, eliminating any air within the line
– Once the tubing is completely filled, clamp the line again by rotating the thumb clamp to the closed position
– You are now ready to select an IV site
![Page 13: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Sight Selection Hand Forearm Antecubital Fossa
(Elbow)***– Usually easiest and most
accessible Upper Arm Foot & Lower Leg
– Least favorable, use as last resort
![Page 14: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Sight Selection
Hand– Posterior (back of hand) may not
accept large bore IV catheter or allow rapid volume infusion
Forearm– Sometimes difficult to locate vein– Good for rapid infusion of fluids and
blood products as well as IV medications
![Page 15: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Arm Veins
![Page 16: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sight Selection
Antecubital Fossa– Large vessels– Most accessible– Allows for rapid infusion– Accepts large bore IV catheter
Disadvantage – Elbow must remain straight to allow
for infusion
![Page 17: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sight Selection
Upper arm– Usually very large vessel– Sometimes difficult to access– Straight long vessel (no bends to
occlude catheter)
![Page 18: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sight Selection
Foot and Upper leg– Used as a last resort– Usually more painful to patient– Furthest form the heart– Difficult to manage
Now you now are ready to attempt an IV
![Page 19: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Sight Preparation
Identify vein Clean 3 times with alcohol Apply tourniquet above vein Wear gloves
Gloves are not worn during demonstration to allow better visualization of techniques
![Page 20: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Sight Preparation
Place the tourniquet above the desired IV site– Should be snug to reduce venous flow– Makes for easier vein identification
Identify vein– Determine the most appropriate vein– Choose the site where the IV is to be
inserted
![Page 21: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Sight Preparation Alcohol swab
– Cleanse the area with an alcohol swab three times if able
– Allow area to air dry or wipe excess away
Prepare to insert the IV

Apply Tape Securely Around Hub
Securing the IV is very important. You do not want to have to restart an IV
![Page 37: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Apply Tape Securely Around Hub
Apply a 4 inch strip of tape to the underside of the catheter hub
Make a chevron and attach it to the skin adjacent to the insertion point
![Page 38: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Apply Tape Securely Around Hub
Place tape across the top of the bulb on the tubing to secure the tubing to the IV hub and the arm
![Page 39: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Apply Tape Securely Around Hub
Loop the tubing and tape it into position on the arm. This helps to prevent inadvertent dislodgment of the IV
![Page 40: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Dress the insertion site with a Band-Aid or gauze dressing
![Page 41: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Calculating “Rate” Open the line by using the
thumb line lock Volume depletion and
heat casualty require more rapid infusion (“wide open”)
Head injury and heart conditions require less aggressive fluid resuscitation (very slow; 1 drop every 3 or 4 seconds)
![Page 42: Indications for IV Therapy](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102622/568143b7550346895db042bc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Changing the Bag Situations arise when a bag will have to
be changed – Follow the steps when first spiking the bag. – Remove the protective tab from the new bag
of fluid. – Remove the spiked end of the tubing from
the expended bag. – Insert the spike into the port. – Squeeze and release the inspection bulb,
allow to fill and hang the fluid. New tubing is not required
