• Site assessment • Infusion flow • Avoid getting wet, cover with bandage while showering • A splint may be used to prevent from blocking and kinking • Should be flased once a shift with 0.9% sodium chloride • Should be replaced within 72hr to 96 hr https://www.rch.org.au/rchcpg/hospital_clinical_guideline_index/peripheral_intravenous_iv_device_management.

when to remove iv cannulation and why ?

To reduce complications associated with Peripheral Intravenous Catheters (PIVC), healthcare personnel should thoroughly examine the insertion site during each shift handover. If any signs of inflammation, infiltration, blockage, infection, or if the catheter is no longer required for treatment, the catheter should be promptly removed. This proactive approach aims to prevent or address issues promptly and ensure the patient's safety and well-being .

Observation and daily handling of IV cannula (Karen, Remsha, Pamela)

Regular flushing of the cannula is recommended to check the patency of the site. Flushing with NaCl 0,9% is done before and after any drugs are administered. Flushing reduces the chances of drug interactions and prevents complications. It also helps to extend the usable time for that site. (Partanen, A. & Sievers, A. 2022. Principles of IV Cannulation.

VIP score

2023-10-23 07:54:07 UTC

VIP score

According to HUS, the VIP scale is a grading system for assessing the severity of inflammation at an IV insertion site. It provides scores from 0 to 3, each indicating a different level of inflammation.
The international version of this scale is from 0 to 5.

How to remove I.v Cannula

2023-10-23 07:54:23 UTC

Wash your hands and put gloves.

Apply pressure to the area using sterile gauze, then place a small dressing (such as a cotton ball) to the area with tape. Press for 3 mins.

The tip of the catheter or cannula is cultured.
the patient has signs of catheter sepsis
the root of the cannula looks infected
From the pulmonary artery catheter, both the tip of the catheter and the introducer are taken for culture.
If the puncture site exudes a wet discharge, a bacterial culture is also taken from it.
If the patient has general symptoms of infection, blood cultures are taken twice.
