IV Therapy and Peripheral Access

Isotonic solutions

~ have the same effective

osmolality as body fluids

- expand intravascular volume

Hypotonic solutions

- have an effective

osmolality less

than

body

fluids

- expand the intracellular space

Hypertonic solutions

- have a

greater osmolality than body fluids

- infused to treat clients who have severe

hypoatremia

clients who can benefitfrom midline catheters

- clients who have limited peripheral veins

- altered

peripheral skin integrity

longer term Iv antibiotics

- heparin infusions for DVT

- repeated steroid infusions

Interventions that should notbe conducted on midline catheters

- Parenteral nutrition

-solutions with osmolarity greater than 600 mosm/

- routine blood draws

- incompatible medication administration via dual

lumen catheters

circulatory

overload

- a systemic complication of IV

therapy that causes

excess fluid in the circulatory system

How long can an IV solution be used? - hang lipid-containing solutions for no longer than 24 hours -

hang lipid-only emulsions for no longer than 12

hours

hany

blood and blood products for no longer than 4 hours

Why should I back prime secondary tubing instead

####### ofpriming it?

  • none of the medication in the secondary bay will
getwasted or lostwhile you prime the tubing

How

long can an
IV catheter stay in place?

~ should be changed no more than every 12 to 96 hours

Inserting a

Peripheral IV catheter ~ Date and time IV catheter was inserted ~

####### Type, length, gauge, and brand of catheter inserted

~ Location where IV catheter was inserted -Number and location ofattempts to insert catheter ~ In solution and any additives infused

  • Flow rate and if infusing via electrical infusion device or by gravity
  • condition of the IV Site

####### Type ofdressing

and stabilizing device used
  • client's status
  • Name of person starting the IV

####### Discontinuing a peripheral IV infusion

  • Date and time the IV infusion was discontinued -whether the IV catheterwas intact

    -condition of the IU Site

Type of dressing applied
  • Amountof Fluid infused
    • Name of person discontinuing the IV infusion
