This  determination and hunger will be needed when things are not coming together as easily as planned. Louis' strength of learner will keep the team excited and eager for knowledge. His curiosity for how thinks work and the satisfaction of gaining wisdom keeps him enthused and engaged to finding out more. Pablo's positivity will be a great asset to the team. His upbeat personality will become contagious promoting excitement and good energy among other team members. Sam possesses the strength of self assurance.

Peripheral IVs usage is a common part of many hospitals admissions. The prolong usage of IVs often can result in the adverse event of  infiltration or extravasation. ivWatch is a great continuous monitoring device that will provided significant advancement in patient safety which will ultimately prevent pain, redness, and swelling of the skin. The ivWatch sensor technology assists the clinician in the early detections of infiltration and extravasation no longer allowing these complications to be the status quo.

ivWatch a company based in Newport News, Virginia has Food and Drug Administration clearance for its Smart Touch sensor that detects peripheral IV infiltration and extravasation events. The sensor is a single dose disposable device that can be used on patients of any age including neonates. The device uses visible and near infrared light to penetrate the skin. The ivWatch device algorithmically analyzes the optical signatures of tissue around the IV site while compensating for patient movement. The system is able to detect changes as small as .2ml of IV fluid, with an average detection volume of 2.02ml. Any adverse events are immediately relayed to the clinical team for a quick response.
