IV CERTIFICATE 2

Intravenous infusion (IV) is administering fluid or medicine straight into a vein using vascular access devices (VAD). This device can cause inflammation and blood clots to form in the vein (phlebitis). Phlebitis can cause by mechanical, chemical or infective phlebits which can lead to device failure and harm to the patient such as pain, erythema and swelling. To prevent phlebitis Visual infusion phlebitis score is used as well as clinical judgement and observation of the site and VAD. When VAD is not in use remove it to prevent phlebitis.  It is important to follow organisational policy in the administration of IV fluid or medicine.

IV learning has equipped me with the knowledge I need to ensure the safe administration of IV infusion to prevent phlebitis. Also, the sign to look out and to ensure good hand hygiene and use of personal protective equipment.
