| | Intravenous therapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The simplest form of intravenous access is a syringe with an attached hollow needle. | | | Intravenous therapy has many risks and should therefore only be performed by trained personnel under medical supervision, using proper equipment. | | | The needle is inserted through the skin into a vein, and the contents of the syringe are injected through the needle into the bloodstream. |

| | Intravenous drug abusers, both in and out of treatment, must be informed of the dangers of transmitting HIV to their sexual partners and offspring, and also of becoming infected with HIV by sexual contact with other intravenous drug abusers. | | | Since a significant number of intravenous drug abusers who enter treatment continue to use drugs occasionally or subsequently relapse into intravenous drug abuse, intravenous drug abusers in treatment must also be informed about the transmission of HIV and effective methods of cleaning needles. | | | Many intravenous drug abusers are sexually active, and a substantial portion of female addicts and some male addicts resort to prostitution to support their drug habits. |

| | INTRAVENOUS ACCESS |
| | Intravenous cannulation is the process of placing a catheter into a peripheral vein for the administration of fluids or medications. | | | Intravenous therapy is definitive management of dehydration and shock. | | | Therefore, it is important to assess the intravenous line for patency, correct choice of sites, size of cannula, as well as for any of the potential complications of intravenous therapy. |

| | NursingWorld TAN November/December '99: The wide world of nursing: A snapshot of nine specialties |
| | Intravenous nursing is practiced across the health care spectrum, increasingly in alternate care settings, such as outpatient chemotherapy clinics, patients' homes and ambulatory infusion centers. | | | From administering pain management medications to performing blood transfusions, intravenous nurse specialists are adept at shifting their roles and responsibilities to meet the needs of the more than 90 percent of all patients who require some form of intravenous therapy. | | | Competency in the intravenous specialty is measured by the nurse's knowledge of nine core information areas: technology and clinical application, fluid and electrolyte balance, pharmacology, infection control, pediatrics, transfusion therapy, antineoplastic therapy, parenteral nutrition and quality assurance. |
