 Infiltration
 Extravasation
 Thrombosis
 Cellulitis
 Phlebities
 Embolism
 Hematoma
 Systemic infection
 Speed shock
 Circulatory overload
 Allergic reaction
27

28. INFILTRATION:-To enter, permeate, or pass through
a substance or area by filtering or by insinuating
gradually.
EXTRAVASAT
ION
The leakage of
blood, lymph,
other fluid from
blood vessel into
the tissue
 PHLEBITIES:
Inflammation of a vein its happened with blood or
without blood too.
28

29. THROMBOSIS& CELLULITIS
 THROMBOSIS: Thrombosis occurs when blood
clots block vein or arteries.
 CELLULITIS: A common and potentially serious
bacterial skin infection.
29

30. PREVENTION OF IV LINE COMPLICATION
 Check iv site in each shift
 Use vip score tool for prevention of phlebities.
 Check dressing for iv line site.
 Total number of days of iv line.
 Use transparent dressing.
 Use flush technique. Take posi flush and flush
the ven flon slowly and clean the port ,give
medicine again flush the ven flon slowly.

 DOES patient need the IV? If not used in past 24 hours ,or
unlikely to be used in next 24 hrs, consider removal, consider
change to oral medications.
 EFFECTIVE function? Does the iv infuse and /or flush well?
Follow local policy for flushing and locking.
 COMPLICATIONS at IV site? Pain >2/10, redness>1 cm ,
discharge , infiltration, extravasation , hardness, palpable cord
purulence.
 INFECTION prevention : hand hygiene , scrub the hub & allow
to dry before each IV access careful use of administration sets.
 DRESSING & securement.: clean ,dry, and intact. IV and lines
