5 Major Steps for All The Beginners To Insert an IV Cannula
by Lars Medicare Lars Medicare Manufacturer, Exporter, Supplier, He
IV Cannula as we
all know is something that stands for the intravenous cannula, and is a process
through which the fluids or the medicines are passed into the veins of the
patient using a needle or a tube catheter. This is a needle that is generally
believed to be placed under the elbow, near the wrist and at the back of the
hand. Different sites can also be used if it is required or necessary. Proper
and successful insertion of IV cannula places turns out to have its own
importance as it can even cause discomfort to the patient. Following are some
of the major steps that can be used while inserting an IV
Cannula and let's have a look at them below.
Finding a
really good vein before you actually begin with the process. Usually it is the
large vein that is located on the underside of the forearm and is something
that is most often used.
Applying
a tourniquet just a few inches above the site in order to get your veins to be
swollen up for the easy insertion process.
Using the
right catheter and making sure that the needle does not touch anything else
other than the skin of the patient. This can even compromise on their sterility
increasing the various risks of the infection.
Disinfect
the area using the alcohol pad and then wipe it out gently making sure that
there is an even coat of alcohol. This helps in minimising the various chances
of infection.
Stabilizing
the limb of the patient with gentle pressure and taking care that you do not
touch the IV cannula directly.
Have the
caps been removed that is given on the catheter and then tightly pull the skin
around the iv cannula site. Slowly try and insert the needle with minimum angle
keeping it as much as is parallel to the skin giving it a minimum angle.
The
flashback of the blood in the catheters applicator will then indicate that the
vein has been hit in advance to the needle with one more centimetre into the
vein.
Have the
needle being pulled back again for around 1 centimetre from the vein. When the
cannula has been seated in the vein remove the tourniquet and have the
sterilized bandage put immediately over the lower half of the catheter hub.
Once done
with the entire process disposes the needle for the safety of your patient and
removes the tourniquet in order to prevent discomfort in the patient.
The last
but not the least applies a piece of tape to the area around the catheter while
attaching the IV cannula tubing. And make sure that there is no loop in
between.
