6/1/2010 12:12
IVchat: T1 - use of ultrasound in PICC insertion is almost standard - but what r ur thoughts in
ultrasound for peripheral IV insertions? #IVchat
6/1/2010 12:14
InfusionNurse: @ONSmark ..we'd be happy to answer ur ?.. #IVchat
6/1/2010 12:15
VascularAccess: T1 - think it might be a bit too much to use ultrasound for PIV...perhaps just one of those
vein finders, laser not ultrasound #IVchat
6/1/2010 12:16
InfusionNurse: @VascularAccess ..agree w/u plus the learning curve w/ US use is long for the avg nurse.
#IVchat
6/1/2010 12:18
MEDsyntrix: T1 aren't those vein finders ultrasound? #ivchat

MEDsyntrix: OK thx #ivchat
6/1/2010 12:23
VascularAccess: T1 - I can just see nurses using US for PIV taking more insertion time... #IVchat
6/1/2010 12:23
ONSmark: @InfusionNurse T1 Final line in conclusion is "with ultrasound guidance for peripheral IV
lines." (I don't have full article) #ivchat
6/1/2010 12:24
InfusionNurse: Interesting..thanks will look it up! RT @ONSmark:T1 Final line in conclusion is "with
ultrasound guidance for peripheral IV lines." #IVchat

2083 PICC lines per ultrasound guidance" #ivchat
6/1/2010 12:29
InfusionNurse: @ONSmark ..T1 yes, I think that's a given but with peripheral IV insertions (not PICC) -
not sure yet... #IVchat
6/1/2010 12:31
IVchat: One more topic then we can have @ONSmark share his ?? T2 why isn't infusion/vascular
access insertion included in nrsg curriculum #IVchat
6/1/2010 12:31
ONSmark: T2 Don't know, but think it could be done following INS Core Curriculum for Intravenous
Nursing & other outlines! #ivchat
6/1/2010 12:34
VascularAccess: T1 - PIV are known to have lower inf rates. I'd b more concerned w/success rate & US
might improve that...so can those vein finders #IVchat
6/1/2010 12:34
InfusionNurse: T2 - there are some nrsg schools that do but not all require it. So new grads don't even
know how to start PIV's or care 4 CVADs #IVchat
6/1/2010 12:35

VascularAccess: T2 - oh I agree with @ONSmark...really wish they would include it in basic nursg
training...I didn't learn it when I was a student #IVchat
6/1/2010 12:37
ONSmark: T2 I saw something on using simulations for IV training, but probably within another course,
i.e., not a whole "IV access" course #ivchat
6/1/2010 12:38
VascularAccess: T2 - I didn't know how to even do CVAD drsg change when I was a new RN...I really had
poor technique until I was given training... #IVchat
6/1/2010 12:40
InfusionNurse: @VascularAccess ..T2 even current staff RNs still don't know how unless they r trained
and competency checked. #IVchat

IVchat: @ONSmark ..pls. go ahead with your ?..hope we can help.. #IVchat

lines!!! #IVchat

dialysis. #ivchat
6/1/2010 12:47
InfusionNurse: @ONSmark ..good one for MD's inserting chest placed CVADs..very impt to have the
hands on training. #IVchat
6/1/2010 12:47
InfusionNurse: @ONSmark ..if catheter tip is in cavo-atrial junction, it's a central line & w good blood
return - can b used for chemo - not ideal! #IVchat
6/1/2010 12:51
ONSmark: @InfusionNurse Thanks! The other question I had asked whether buretrols/burettes are
still used for peds in infusion centers. #ivchat
6/1/2010 12:52
InfusionNurse: @ONSmark ..in NICU's they r still used. for outpt infusion centers, not usually unless
volume is so small #IVchat
6/1/2010 12:56
