How to fill out intravenous insertion

1. Clean the area: Before starting the procedure, make sure to clean the area where the intravenous insertion will be placed. This helps reduce the risk of infection.
2. Gather necessary equipment: Collect all the necessary equipment needed for the intravenous insertion, such as gloves, antiseptic solution, intravenous catheter, sterile dressing, and adhesive tape.
3. Prepare the patient: Explain the procedure to the patient and ensure their consent. Position the patient comfortably and expose the site where the intravenous insertion will be placed.
4. Put on gloves: To maintain a sterile environment, wear disposable gloves before starting the procedure.
5. Choose the insertion site: Identify the appropriate site for intravenous insertion, usually on the lower arm or hand. It should be away from joints, tendons, major blood vessels, or areas of infection.
6. Cleanse the insertion site: Use an antiseptic solution, such as iodine or alcohol, to cleanse the insertion site in a circular motion from the center outward. Let it dry completely.
7. Insert the catheter: Hold the catheter with the bevel up and at a 10-30 degree angle. Insert it smoothly into the vein until a flashback of blood is observed in the catheter's flashback chamber.

9. Connect the tubing: Attach the intravenous tubing securely to the catheter hub, ensuring a tight connection.
10. Start the infusion: Open the clamp on the tubing to allow the flow of fluids or medication into the patient's bloodstream. Monitor the patient's response and adjust the flow rate as required.
11. Secure the insertion site: Apply a sterile dressing over the insertion site and use adhesive tape to secure it in place. This helps prevent accidental dislodgment and maintain the sterile environment.
12. Document the procedure: Record the details of the intravenous insertion procedure in the patient's medical chart, including the site, size of the catheter, type of solution or medication infused, and any complications or observations.
13. Monitor the intravenous site: Regularly check the intravenous insertion site for signs of infection, infiltration, or phlebitis. Notify the healthcare provider if any issues arise.
