
Discontinue infusion at the first sign
of phlebitis
Notify physician
Apply warm or cold compresses to
affected site
Notify infection control if part of
agency policy

Infiltration

Inadvertent
administration of a
nonvesicant solution
into surrounding
tissues.
Extravasation

The inadvertent
administration of a
visicant solution into
surrounding tissue.

IOM report
CDC & INS standards
◦ “follow your hospital policy”
–
 Changing IV admin sets
 IV dressings
◦ How does this contribute to patient
safety?


Change IV administration sets
Dressing changes
Changing NAP
Cleanse access port with new alcohol swab
for 15 seconds.

3 types
Capped, resealable diaphragm
◦ Blunt cannula split septum
◦ Luer access – neg. displacement
◦ Luer access – pos. displacement

Negative pressure or positive pressure?
◦ Flushing technique is different!!!


Does it have a small extension tubing?
◦ Yes: only need alcohol swabs & NS
◦ No: prime extension tubing; get new dressing

Multiple sites or lumens: what is infusing
where
Discontinuation of therapy
patient tolerance
◦ “tolerated well”: NO, NO, NO NO
◦ What are assessments that you made to come to
that conclusion? (C. Madsen)
