IVs are most commonly inserted into a vein in your arm but may be put in different places depending on the patient’s condition.
PERIPHERAL IV
is the most commonly used IV in a medical situation. Peripheral IVs are for patients that are admitted into the emergency room or for surgical patients. Peripheral IVs are inserted into the hand or arm of the patient through a device called a cannula.
is the most commonly used IV in a medical situation. Peripheral IVs are for patients that are admitted into the emergency room or for surgical patients. Peripheral IVs are inserted into the hand or arm of the patient through a device called a cannula.
A cannula is a small plastic tube that helps introduce medicine into the patient’s body. Also, doctors recommend that you do not leave a peripheral IV in a patient for more than a few days.
The reason for this is that it can lead to skin irritation and other adverse effects for the patient.
Indications:
• Fluid and electrolyte replacement
• Administration of medicines
• Administration of blood / blood products
• Administration of Total Parenteral Nutrition
• Hemodynamic monitoring , blood sampling

Choose a suitable vein
In adults, use long straight veins in an upper extremity away from the joints for catheter insertion – in preference to sites on the lower extremities.

In pediatric patients, it is recommended that the cannula be inserted into the scalp, hand, or foot site in preference to a leg, arm, or ante cubital fossa site (Category II).
