Intravenous therapy

The use of intravenous (IV) therapy in the hospitals is now considered a routine therapy. About 70% to 80% of patients have peripheral intravenous lines at some time during their course of hospitalization (DeVries & Valentine, 2016). A peripheral intravenous (PIV) line is a small hollow tube or catheter that is inserted into a vein and can be connected to special tubing. PIV line is commonly used to administer medications or fluids directly into the vein. The history of intravenous therapy dates back

The use of intravenous therapy in the hospitals is now considered a routine therapy. In 2016, DeVries and Valentine stated that 70% to 80% of hospital patients have peripheral intravenous lines at some time during their stay. A peripheral intravenous (PIV) line is a small hollow tube (catheter) that is inserted into a vein and can be connected to special tubing. PIV line is commonly used to administer medications or fluids directly into the vein. The article “Intravenous Therapy: A Review of Complications

“Complications of intravenous therapy” will give insight on risks due to potential complications. The journal did not discuss risk but it did talk about keeping the patient safe to avoid risks . The next journal “Prevention of Peripheral Venous Catheter Complications with an Intravenous Therapy Team” suggest some risk factors and how to avoid complications due to IV catheter insertion. In the journal “Complication of intravenous therapy” a study included 130 patients that received intravenous therapy

cells accurately and eliminate them so as not to destroy others cells and leading to the full breakdown organs of the body. First, the chemotherapy is given to patients in different ways, either intravenous or intramuscular or subcutaneous. For example; if a patient taking through the intravenous therapy is injected into a vein leading to the place of the injured. In this case, it will work accurately damaged part of it and after consecutive periods of treatment in the same way it will be the elimination

The purpose of this paper is to inform the reader about intravenous therapy (IV), intravenous locations, equipment that is used to start an IV and maintain an IV, the process of how to start an IV, how to change an IV dressing, and IV safety. This paper will also talk about central and peripheral lines, types of central lines, and what they are used for. Intravenous Therapy, Equipment, and Safety We hear the word IV all the time. Most people probably don’t know what it really means. They

Post operatively, John was receiving intravenous fluid therapy to maintain the fluid balance in the body and in this essay the fluid therapy is using as the third intervention. Normal fluid and electrolyte homeostasis of the intracellular, extracellular, intravascular under precise control is necessary to allow efficient cellular and organ function (Marsh and Brown, 2012). Body fluid composition may change from minutes to hours, making it difficult to the wound healing process and affects the homeostasis

on evidence which can ultimately compromise the safety of patients and their health outcomes. Peripheral intravenous therapy (PIV) is a common practice in the acute care setting and evidence-based practices have been established to drive appropriate care for this intervention. Almost all patients that are admitted into the acute care setting require peripheral intravenous therapy. PIV therapy is an important factor in the care of patients in the hospital and it is most often used to maintain or correct

Complications of intravenous therapy include infiltration which is the solution going into the surrounding tissue, that usually occurs when the cannula is dislodge and perforates a vein wall. Extravasation is similar to in infiltration except with extravasation medication is entering into the surrounding tissue (Farrell & Dempsey, 2014, p 154). Clinical manifestations of infiltration and extravasation include oedema at the insertion site, IV fluid leaking at the insertion site, discomfort from the

antibiotics, which can be administered either orally or via intravenous infusion; however, in mild to moderate cases, IV antibiotics have not proven any more effective than oral antibiotics. Because of the difference in cost, patients with mild to moderate cases of PID are usually given oral antibiotic therapy at home rather than being admitted to the hospital to receive intravenous antibiotics (Sabb, 2018). Hospital admission for intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics is indicated in a number of cases

The Use of Intravenous Pumps to Reduce Medication Errors Angelina David Adelphi University Introduction Intravenous infusion therapy is an infusion of fluids directly into the patient’s bloodstream via a vein using an intravenous catheter. It is frequently used in hospital settings for patients that require a rapid onset of medication and for those who are unable to receive medications orally. According to Adams and Urban (2012), intravenous (IV) infusion is considered to be the most dangerous
