| | NursingWorld TAN November/December '99: The wide world of nursing: A snapshot of nine specialties |
 | | 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. | | | 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. |

| | Intravenous Therapy |
| | Though the physician most frequently prescribes the intravenous fluid, it is largely the professional nurse who is responsible for implementing intravenous therapy. | | | When a nurse is called to a deposition, s/he can be sure the lawyer will thoroughly question knowledge of the intravenous fluids utilized on the patient, now his litigious client. | | | Intravenous therapy is prescribed to persons requiring electrolyte replacement, fluid, calories, vitamins, or other nutritional substances. |

| | (S-203) TASK ANALYSIS OF INTRAVENOUS DRUG AND FLUID ADMINISTRATION IN THE OPERATING ROOM |
| | INTRODUCTION: Intravenous drug and fluid administration plays a critical role in anesthesia care. | | | There appears to be substantial opportunity to improve quality of care by making intravenous drug and fluid administration tasks in the operating room more efficient. | | | The purpose of this study was to document the time spent during anesthesia on IV drug and fluid administration tasks, and to identify opportunities for improved design of this critical aspect of anesthesia care. |

| | If fluids are still noted subcutaneously after this time, the use of intravenous fluids to reestablish peripheral perfusion should be considered. | | | In general, intravenous fluid administration is indicated in dogs and cats with 7% or greater dehydration. | | | In selecting a fluid, it is important to know which electrolytes are lost and to institute replacement therapy based on knowledge of the pathophysiology of the disease. |

| | GUIDELINES FOR FLUID REPLACEMENT DURING MARATHON RUNNING |
| | There are no clinical trials to show that intravenous fluid therapy is either beneficial or even necessary for the optimum treatment of those athletes who collapse after completing marathon races and who seek medical care as a result. | | | This contrasts to the currently popular dogma which holds that thirst is an inadequate index of the fluid requirements during exercise, and thus athletes who drink only in response to their thirst will become sufficiently dehydrated during exercise that their performances will be impaired and their health placed at risk. | | | Athlete interview evidence suggests that world-class runners ingest minimal fluid volume during their competitive races, primarily because of the difficulty of such ingestion when racing at the high exercise intensities (~85% of maximum oxygen consumption) and fast running speeds necessary to achieve success in top-level races. |

| | Intravenous drip : IV |
| | Intravenous fluids are used in a great variety of medical conditions, ranging from dehydration (loss of water) to electrolyte imbalances and acute or chronic blood loss. | | | Intravenous drip : IV An intravenous drip (or IV for short) is the infusion of fluids into a vein, intravenous meaning "within veins." It is administered in medical situations either to replace fluid or to provide easy access to the bloodstream for drugs. | | | Beside blood transfusion and intravenous drugs, there are essentially two types of fluids that are used for intravenous drips: crystalloid and colloid fluids. |

| | In both the NRL and AFL, intravenous fluid use is banned during and in the 24 hours before a game, whereas in the NFL (US gridiron comp) intravenous fluid use during the game is commonplace. | | | Further complicating the issue is that there is no drug test that could be used to prove whether or not a player had been intravenously re-hydrated. | | | Justine Henin-Hardenne has won the US Open after spending the night before on an intravenous drip, which was required to reverse the dehydration she suffered in the semi-final the night before. |

| | The disadvantage of these macro-drip intravenous infusion sets, however, is the possibility of inadvertent over-administration of fluids. | | | For the patient in the second scenario, 55% of anesthesiologists would choose micro-drip, 9% macro-drip and 36% would use both intravenous infusion sets. | | | Anesthesiologists occasionally use both micro-drip and macro-drip IV infusion sets in a single patient in clinical situations in which administration of IV fluids is undesirable or contraindicated, but where the ability to fluid resuscitate must be immediately available. |
