3 Peripheral I.V. Therapy Initiation& Maintenance Learning Module CC PURPOSE: IV therapy initiation and maintenance is a basic entry level competency for RNs and LPNs. This Learning Module for Peripheral IV Therapy Initiation and Maintenance provides the Registered Nurse/Licensed Practical Nurse with the theory and practice to further assist them in performing this skill, given that they have received initial education in their nursing program. If the RN/LPN has not had IV therapy initiation education in their training, they may require additional education as determined through a needs assessment in collaboration with the nurse, educator and manager. Further educational resources can also be found on the HITS NS e-learning site. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this Learning Module, the RN/LPN will be able to complete the following: 1. Identify the purpose for IV therapy initiation and maintenance. 2. Identify important factors for consideration during vein site selection. 3. Describe possible complications of IV therapy initiation and maintenance, and populations at risk. 4. Explain the procedure for initiation of peripheral IV therapy 5. Demonstrate initiation of at least ONE successful insertion on a patient and complete the proficiency skills checklist with an educator/delegate. METHOD: Review Nursing Care Policy and Procedure CC (Peripheral IV Therapy and Maintenance) Review Self Directed Learning Module and complete the self-test. Complete Proficiency Standard Skills Checklist with demonstration of skill. THEORY/ REQUIRED READINGS: Intravenous and Vascular Access Therapy Perry, A.G. & Potter, P.A.

4 Peripheral I.V. Therapy Initiation& Maintenance Learning Module CC Positive Pressure Technique: To maintain patency for intermittent IV access, it is necessary to flush the needle free adaptor (Micro-Clave Clear) using positive pressure technique every 24 hours. This procedure allows for the IV catheter to completely fill with saline and prevent back flow of blood. Two types of needle free systems for intermittent use exist: 1. The Micro-CLAVE clear, connected directly to the IV catheter- in this case, the saline is injected using a syringe at the same time as the syringe is removed from the connector. 2. The Micro-CLAVE clear with extension tubing connected to the IV catheter- in this case the syringe of flush solution is again pushed in through the adaptor, but during the last 0.5 mls of flush, the clamp on the extension tubing is closed and the syringe removed. Vein Selection Select the vein for venous insertion. Veins found on the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the upper extremities ( e.g., cephalic, basilic and median veins) are preferred in adults. This ensures adequate veins that are easier to puncture with needle and are less likely to rupture. Essential Clinical Procedures. Harbert, Kenneth R. Published January 1, Pages Superficial veins. A-Inner aspect of forearm. B-Dorsal aspect of hand and wrist.
5 Peripheral I.V. Therapy Initiation& Maintenance Learning Module CC The Cephalic, Basilic, and Median Cubital Veins are best for IV placement in adults. Use the most distal site in the non dominant arm, if possible. Moving in the direction of distal to proximal increases the availability of other sites for future IV therapy. Clip arm hair with scissors if necessary as hair impedes venipuncture or adherence of a dressing. Do not shave with a razor. Shaving may cause microabrasions and predispose a client to infection. Indications/Contraindications : 1. Avoid areas that are painful to palpation 2. Select a vein that is large enough for catheter placement 3. Choose a site that will not interfere with a clients activities of daily living or planned procedures. 4. Use fingertips to palpate the vein by pressing downward and noting the resilient, soft, bouncy feeling as the pressure is released. Fingertips are more sensitive and are better to assess vein condition. 5. Promote venous distention by instructing the client to open and close the fist several times, lowering the client s arm in a dependent position, applying dry heat to the arm from distal to proximal below the proposed site. 6. Avoid sites distal to previous venipuncture sites, sclerosed or hardened cordlike veins, infiltrated sites or phlebotic vessels, bruised areas and areas of venous valves or bifurcation. Avoid veins in the antecubital fossa and ventral surface of the wrist. Veins in the antecubital fossa are used for blood draws, and placement in this area limits mobility. Inner wrists contain numerous tendons that could be damaged. 7. Avoid fragile dorsal veins in older adults and vessels in an extremity with compromised circulation ( e.g.) in cases of mastectomy, dialysis graft or paralysis. Venous alterations can increase risk of complications ( e.g., infiltration and decreased catheter dwelling time). REFERENCES: Hadaway, L.C. (2003) Infusing Without Infecting.

7 Peripheral I.V. Therapy Initiation& Maintenance Learning Module CC TEST 1. If a patient is to receive long term I.V. therapy, where should the I.V. be started? 2. How many times should a nurse attempt to initiate a peripheral I.V. on one patient before requesting assistance? 3. Which are common I.V. puncture sites in adults? a. Hand b. Arm c. Foot d. Antecubital fossa 1) a,c,d 2)a,b,d 3)a,b,c 4)a,b 4. Which of the above I.V. sites is more common with pediatric clients but is usually avoided in the adult? 5. Which I.V. puncture site should be used only as a last resort? 6. Why is it important to allow the antiseptic agent to dry thoroughly? 7. What are two common sized over-needle-cannulas (ONC) used for peripheral I.V. insertion? 8. Name three patient characteristics where it may be difficult for a nurse to insert a peripheral I.V.? 9. What is to be avoided on mastectomy patients and patients with A-V fistulas when initiating peripheral I.V. insertion? TRUE OR FALSE 10.
