Nursing Responsibilities for IV Therapy
Once you and your nurse establish a personalized IV plan, they manage the entire process from formulation to monitoring:
Preparation and Setup
- Calculating Rates: Determining the flow rate based on tubing size and your specific absorption needs.
- Priming the Lines: Verifying the solution, puncturing the bag, and priming the tubing to ensure no air bubbles are present.
- Secondary Infusions: If multiple bags are needed, nurses use a "piggyback" method, connecting a secondary line to a port on the primary line.
Peripheral IV Placement
Our nurses are trained to insert IVs quickly and painlessly:
- Tourniquet Placement: Uses a rubber band on the upper arm to make veins more accessible.
- Site Selection: Common sites include the back of the hand or inner arm.
- Sterilization: Uses alcohol swabs to maintain a sterile field.
- Insertion: A small needle is used to insert a flexible catheter, which remains in the vein while the needle is retracted.
- Securing: The site is cleaned and secured with tape or sterile dressing.
Monitoring and Removal
Throughout the 30–60 minute infusion, your nurse will periodically assess the IV site for comfort and flow. Once the bags are empty, they will gently remove the catheter, apply gauze to prevent bleeding, and finish with a final check to ensure you are ready to return to your day.
