IV FLUID THERAPY FARWANIYA HEALTH REGION STAFF DEVELOPMENT UNIT
Objective At the end of this session the staff nurse will be able to Define IV therapy. Describe the indication and Places to avoid of IV therapy. Mention the type of IV fluids . Identify Sites for venous puncture For adult & pediatric. Explain the formula for medication administration. List out the steps of IV cannulation. Discuss the Nursing responsibilities during IV therapy Enumerate the complication of IV therapy .
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION Total body fluid- for approximately 60% of total body weight TBW can be divided into
DEFINITION Intravenous therapy (abbreviated as IV therapy ) is a treatment technique that infuses intravenous solution, medications, nutrients, blood and blood products directly into the vein
Fluid and Electrolyte Replacement . Emergency Care Administration of Medication. Blood or Blood Products Administration. Administration of Total Parental Nutrition. Chemotherapy Administration. Administration of Contrast agent for CT,MRI and Nuclear Imaging. Surgery Indications
Places to avoid Veins of the fractured limbs Same arm as an AV fistula An area that is affected by burns, oedema or infection Bony prominences/ flexion area A limb affected by stroke A limb that has a deep venous thrombosis Same arm of post mastectomy or lymph node dissection . Avoid inserting a cannula into the lower limb if possible
Types of IV Fluids Fluids can be classified into Colloids , Crystalloids Blood products
1. Colloid Contain large molecules which remain in the intravascular compartment to expand the intravascular volume Used to increase the blood volume following severe loss of blood or loss of plasma. Examples: Albumin Gelatine Dextran
2. Crystalloid Contain small molecules that flow easily across the cell membranes This will increase fluid volume in both the interstitial and intravascular spaces (Extracellular) Used as maintenance fluids to correct body fluids and electrolyte deficit . It is subdivided into: * Isotonic * Hypotonic * Hypertonic
Isotonic fluids Same osmolarity as blood serum No change at the cellular level Example Dextrose 5% in water Sodium chloride 0.9% Lactate ringer - Cells are stable
Hypotonic fluids Decrease osmotic pressure causing fluid into invade cells Danger of water intoxication Example 0.45% NaCl 0.2%NaCl - Water moves into cells
Hypertonic fluids This fluid can cause venous irritation The osmotic pressure drawing fluid from cell Danger of cellular dehydration Examples - 3% sodium chloride (3% NaCl): 10,20,50,70 % Dextrose : TPN - Water moves out of cells
Sites for venous puncture For adult
Sites for venous puncture for pediatric
Layers of the Vein
Parts of cannula
IV Calculation Formula Calculating Rate in Drops per Minute Volume x drop factor = drop/min No of hours x 60 Rate in mL per Hour
IV Calculation example Calculating Rate in Drops per Minute Start 2pints of ½ strength Normal Saline in Dextrose 5% to be given over 10 hours. If the IV set used is a micro drip set, how many drops per minute shall the IVF be regulated? Volume x drop factor 2 pints = 1000 ml No of hours x 60 micro drop = 60 1000ml x 60 = 1000 = 100 drops/mt 10 x 60 10
IV Calculation example Calculating ML Per hour How many ml per hour will be set in an infusion pump to deliver 1 litter over 8 hours? Total volume 1000 = 125 ml / hour No of hours 8
IV Cannulation procedure EQUIPMENTS 1-Trolly containing Prescribed infusion fluid IV infusion set IV needle /cannulas of different sizes Alcohol 70%
Equipment (Cont.) Cotton balls Sterile gauze Bed protector Gloves Tourniquet IV label Kidney basin Adhesive plaster Pairs of scissors Flush - 10mL 0.9% NaCl in a syrin ge
Equipment (Cont.) 2- Infusion stand 3- Container for waste 4- Sharp disposable box Optional 1- Splint and bandage. 2- Shaving set
Steps of IV Cannulation Confirm doctor’s instructions Wash and dry hand Assemble equipment Identify the patient and explain the procedure Provide privacy Prime the IV set with prescribed solution Open the IV set and Iv solution aseptically Clamp the tubing Hang the IV solution on the IV stand Open the clamp , expel the air
Steps of IV Cannulation (Cont.) Place the patient in comfortable position Apply tourniquet, the tourniquet should be applied at a pressure which is high enough to impede venous distension but not to restrict arterial flow Identify vein Clean the site over the vein with alcohol wipe, allow to dry Hold the cannula in your dominant hand, stretch the skin over the vein to anchor the vein with your non-dominant hand.
Insert the needle (bevel side up) at an angle of 10-30 o to the skin (this will depend on vein depth.) Observe the back flow of the blood and advance the needle into the vein Release the tourniquet Flush the cannula using 10mL of 0.9%NaCl. Connect iv tubing with needle ,release the clamp and observe for swelling Steps of IV Cannulation (Cont.)
Steps of IV Cannulation (Cont.) Fix the needle with adhesive plaster and label with date and time of insertion Regulate the IV flow Attach the infusion label with require information Discard waste Clean and replace reusable equipment Wash and dry hands Document the date, site, the cannula gauge and the number of attempts
Removing the Cannula Wash your hands and don gloves . Remove the dressing and any tape surrounding the cannula. Remove the cannula in a steady, fluid motion. Apply pressure to the area using sterile gauze. Place a small dressing (such as a cotton ball) to the area with tape .
Assess , Observe , record & report for the following : 1- The line for. IV line is intact or become disconnected IV therapy has stopped Back flow of blood into the IV line Any changes in the drip rate . kinks or air in the line Nursing responsibilities during IV therapy
2- The site of injection for : Proper positioning of IV Redness , any tissue swelling Pain or burning at IV site Any leakage, any coolness around IV site Any concerns verbalised by the patient Unusual changes in the patient e.g.: pallor / flushes / pain / temperature Nursing responsibilities during IV therapy(Cont.)
COMPLICATIONS Infection: Redness, swelling and drainage at site; chills, fever, malaise, headache Tissue damage: Skin color change, sloughing of skin, discomfort at site Phlebitis: Heat, redness, tenderness, swollen Thrombophlebitis: Heat , redness, tenderness, hard and cordlike vein
COMPLICATIONS (Cont.) Air embolism: Tachycardia, dyspnea, hypotension, cyanosis, decreased level of consciousness Catheter embolism: Pain along vein, weak, rapid pulse, Hematoma: leakage of blood at the site, and hard painful lumps at the site Infiltration : Edema, pain, coolness at the site Circulatory overload: Increased BP, distended jugular veins, moist cough and crackles
Conclusion Iv fl uid therapy is very important for many medical conditions . Fluid management for any particular medical condition has always been an interesting but challenging field. Where, IV fluids can save the life of an individual at the same time inappropriate administratio n can be a life threatening.
