| | INTRAVENOUS ACCESS |
 | | Intravenous and intraosseous techniques remain the preferred methods for medication administration and are mandatory for the infusion of fluids, especially when cardiac compromise results from noncardiac causes, such as trauma or sepsis. | | | 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. |

| | 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. |

| | An alternative method for preparing drugs for intravenous administration was use of manaufacturers' containers that were configured for reconstitution, attaching to piggyback IV tubing and hanging from an IV pole to be administered as a piggyback infusion. | | | Leff and Roberts studied different methods of intravenous drug administration in pediatric patients and found that syringe infusion pump or manual retrograde injection techniques were both practical, safe, dependable and effective as a means to deliver both IV fluids and medications as a desired or known rate14. | | | The exact frequency of adverse drug events associated with intravenous drug delivery is known, but given the percentage of drug therapy that is given by this route in the acute care setting is likely to be high. |

| | New Infusion Set |
| | 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. | | | We propose a new anesthesia intravenous infusion set (Dual Drip Chamber IV set) which combines the fine control of the IV flow of a micro-drip IV infusion set, with the rapid infusion capability of a macro-drip IV infusion set. | | | The disadvantage of these macro-drip intravenous infusion sets, however, is the possibility of inadvertent over-administration of fluids. |

| | Several opportunities occurred for intravenous or percutaneous exposure to the older brother's blood (e.g., intravenous injection through inadvertent reuse of HIV-contaminated infusion paraphernalia or percutaneous inoculation through an unwitnessed needlestick injury). | | | Both boys have required frequent intravenous factor replacement to treat hemarthroses, bruising, or intramuscular or external hemorrhages. | | | This report summarizes the epidemiologic and laboratory findings of the investigation, which strongly suggest that the younger child became infected following exposure to needles or syringes used to provide intravenous therapy and that had been contaminated with his brother's blood. |

| | Practical Tips on Intraosseous Fluid Therapy |
| | Restoration of peripheral pressure by rapid intraosseous fluid replacement enables routine intravenous catheter placement and continued volume fluid therapy. | | | Bones used for intraosseous infusion should be intact (that is, not fractured), and the skin over the insertion site should be unbroken to avoid contamination of the bone with bacteria - infection is the most common complication of this procedure. | | | Once local anaesthesia is performed, a small stab incision should be made in the skin to allow incision should be made in the skin to allow insertion of the intraosseous cannula. |

It is administered in medical situations either to replace fluid or to provide easy access to the bloodstream for drugs. | | | Note that an intravenous drip is a sterile medical procedure that should only be performed by trained personnel under medical supervision, using proper equipment. | | | 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. |
