• Includes water, chemicals, blood, blood products, and meds.
![Page 5: nhelia lec sa QPH](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070316/55615f09d8b42a35458b4b0d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• IV Drug Administration involves injecting or infusing the drug directly into the blood circulation, allowing for rapid distribution throughout the body.
• Provides the greatest bioavailability
![Page 6: nhelia lec sa QPH](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070316/55615f09d8b42a35458b4b0d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
IV DRUGS ARE ADMINISTERED FOR:
Restoring fluid balance secondary to trauma, illness, or dehydration.
• Maintain fluid balance when pt is NPO.• Administer medication/electrolytes/vitamins.• Administer anesthesia.• Administer blood/blood products.• Long-term pain management. (avoids multiple injections)• Trauma.• Maintain blood levels of drugs.• Establish access to vascular system for Dialysis, etc.

ADVANTAGES/DISADVANTAGES
• ADVANTAGES• Drug or solutions enter bloodstream instantly and
circulate into the tissue. This can be considered a disadvantage also.
• DISADVANTAGE• Fluids cannot be retrieved in the event of an error.• Extreme caution must be used.• Needle or catheter must be used to provide entry.• Materials must be sterile to prevent infection.

INFUSION TECHNIQUES
• CONTINUOUS;• Administration of a drug
over a period of several hours.
• INTERMITTENT:• Administration of
medication in a relatively short span.
• BOLUS:• Medication given all at
one time. Through an existing port or lock.

INFUSION TECHNIQUES (CONT)
• SECONDARY INFUSION:• Administration of a drug that has been diluted in a small
volume of IV solution, usually over 30-60minutes. (Piggyback) Hang higher than Primary.
• VOLUME CONTROL SET:• Chamber in IV tubing that holds a portion of the solution
from a larger container. Avoids overloading Circulatory System. (Volutrol, Buretrol, Soluset.)

![Page 11: nhelia lec sa QPH](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070316/55615f09d8b42a35458b4b0d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
COMPLICATIONS
• CIRCULATORY OVERLOAD:• Symptoms: Increased BP, SOB, Anxiety.• Cause: Rapid infusion, reduced kidney function, impaired
heart contractions.• Action: First action of nurse is to assess for Respiratory Distress (VS), then Decrease Flow-Rate, Fowler’s position, call Physician.
• INFILTRATION:• Symptoms: Swelling at site, burning, color-pallor, coldness,
slow or no rate.• Cause: Solution escaping into subcutaneous tissue.• Action: Restart IV, elevate, warm compress X 20 minutes.

COMPLICATIONS (CONT)
• THROMBUS:• Symptoms: Pain, swelling.• Cause: Cannula point traumatizes wall of vein. Thrombi form on
the vein and tip of cannula. Traps bacteria.• Action: D/C site. Call physician.
• THROMBOPHLEBITIS:• Symptoms: Pain along length of vein. Vein becomes
increasingly
painful and hard.• Cause: Thrombus with inflammation, chemicals or irritation.• Action: Watch for Septicemia and Acute bacterial endocarditis.
D/C IV, notify Physician.

COMPLICATIONS (CONT)
• INFECTION:• Symptoms: Redness, puffiness. Purulent drainage. Temperature and chills.• Cause: Spread of bacteria.• Action: D/C site. Notify physician. Culture if
necessary.
• PULMONARY EMBOLUS:• Symptoms: SOB, Anxiety, Sudden Chest Pain, Rapid
heart rate with a drop in BP.• Cause: Movement of previously stationary blood
clot.• Action: Stay with patient and call for assistance.

COMPLICATIONS (CONT)
• AIR EMBOLUS:
• Symptoms: Drop in BP, Tachycardia, Decreased LOC, Cyanosis.
• Cause: Air enters vein, disconnected tubing, running solutions simultaneously, lethal amount unknown. Associated with Central Lines.
• Action: Trendelenberg position on L side. (air rises to R atrium, preventing it from entering the Pulmonary Artery.
CALL FOR ASSISTANCE

GENERAL INFORMATION• The longer the duration of infusion, the more likely complication are
to occur.• Solutions/meds are irritating to the vein.• Cannula’s can irritate and pierce venous walls causing
complications.• Small veins are more likely to be irritated.• Cannula can occlude vein and prevent blood flow.• Veins in lower extremities are a factor when there is pooling or
stagnant blood.• Poor technique can cause inflammation and infection.• Phlebitis with sepsis is associated with technique. (like
disconnecting a gown)• Infection is a risk. Skin must be thoroughly and properly cleansed
to maintain asepsis. Such as thorough handwashing.
