How to fill out iron polymaltose intravenous infusion

How to fill out iron polymaltose intravenous infusion:

1. Gather all the necessary equipment - a sterile iron polymaltose solution, a sterile infusion set, alcohol swabs, gloves, and a tourniquet.
2. Wash your hands thoroughly and put on a pair of gloves to maintain a sterile environment.
3. Prepare the patient by finding a suitable vein for infusion. Typically, the antecubital vein in the arm is used, but other options may be necessary depending on individual circumstances.

5. Clean the area around the vein with an alcohol swab to disinfect it.
6. Remove the safety cap from the iron polymaltose solution and attach the solution bottle to the infusion set.
7. Prime the infusion set by squeezing the drip chamber until it is about half full with the solution.
8. Open the roller clamp on the infusion set to allow the solution to flow through the tubing and remove any air bubbles.
9. Securely attach the infusion set to the patient's vein using aseptic technique.
10. Release the tourniquet and adjust the flow rate to the prescribed rate or as instructed by the healthcare provider.
11. Stay with the patient during the entire infusion to monitor for any adverse reactions or complications.

13. Safely dispose of all used materials according to proper medical waste protocols.
14. Document the infusion in the patient's medical records, including the date, time, amount infused, and any observations made during the process.
