IV CANNULATION.pdf
1. IV CANNULATION
Intravenous (IV) cannulation is a technique in which a cannula is placed inside a vein to provide venous access.
Anatomy of Veins:
Veins are unlike arteries in that they are
1) Superficial
2) Display dark red blood at skin surface
3) No pulsation
Veins have 3 Layers
Purpose:
PROCEDURE:
PRE PROCEDURE:
♣ Preparation of patient and environment:
♣ Check and verify the physician’s orders
♣ Assemble articles
♣ Explain the procedure to the patient
♣ Position the patient
Drug
administration
Hydration
therapy
Blood
transfusion
Parentral
nutrition
Patient
monitoring
Blood
sampling
Tunica Media
♣ Contains nerve endings and muscle fibers
♣ Vasoconstrictive response
occurs at this layer
Tunica Adventitia
♣ Connective tissue
♣ Consists arteries and veins
that supply blood to blood
Tunica Intima
♣ Inner most layer
♣ No nerve endings
♣ Phlebitis begins
Valve
♣ Prevent backflow and
pooling
2. Equipment required
A Tray Containing
♣ Torniquet ♣ Examination gloves
♣ Plastic Sheet ♣ Easy fix
♣ Alcohol Swabs ♣ Gauze pieces
♣ I.V Cannula ♣ 3 way extension
Cannula Sizes :
Characterisitcs of Ideal vein:
♣ Bouncy ♣ Soft
♣ Visible ♣ Straight
♣ Easily palpable
Veins to Avoid:
♣ Thrombosed/Sclerosed/Fibrosed ♣ Inflammed/bruised
♣ Thin/Fragile ♣ Mobile
♣ Areas or sites of ♣ Near bony prominences
♦ Infection
♦ Oedema
♦ Phlebitis

3. Encourage Venous filling/dilation by:
♣ Tourniquet application - 3 to 4 inches above the site of insertion.
♣ Opening and closing the fist.
♣ Lowering the limb below the heart.
INTRA PROCEDURE
♣ Wash Hands and Don Gloves
♣ Apply Tourniquet 3-4 inches above the site of insertion
♣ Clean the site with Alcohol swab from centre to periphery in circular motion
♣ Maintain traction on the skin to anchor the vein.
♣ Hold the catheter with thumb (behind the thumb rest) with the 2nd and the 3rd finger in front of the side port
or catheter wings.
♣ Insert the stylet through the skin and into the vein at an angle of 15° to 30 °
♣ Placement of the needle tip into the vein is confirmed by blood in the flashback chamber.
♣ Upon visualisation of flashback decrease the catheter to skin angle virtually parallel to the skin
♣ Advance the entire catheter.
♣ Remove tourniquet
♣ Remove the stylet while applying digital pressure to the vein just beyond the catheter tip (to prevent
excessive bleeding)
♣ While applying digital pressure,Remove the white cap from the needle and place it to the cannula.
♣ Secure the cannula with Adhesive tape.
♣ Fix the Cannula: Fixation technique
Purpose of dressing IV cannula
♦ Protect the puncture site
♦ Secure the catheter .
♦Prevent catheter movement which could damage the vessel
♣ Flush the line with Distilled water and Normal saline.
♣ If Infusion is ordered, prime the line and connect to the IV cannula.
POST PROCEDURE
♣ Documentation
♣ Poper disposal of Biomedical Waste
Site Inspection:
♣ Every shift, before & after any intermittent injection of drugs
♣ Look for signs of phlebitis (redness, tenderness, swelling, pain), infiltration & extravasation.
Dressing Change:
♣ Wet or soiled dressings should be changed.
♣ Remove carefully to preserve line.
Connection check
♣ All connections should be checked for tightness(Leurlock).
♣ Ensure the injection port cap is closed at all times.
COMPLICATIONS :
♣ IV site Infection ♣ Cellulitis
♣ Infiltration ♣ Extravasation
♣ Phlebitis ♣ Thrombophlebitis
♣ Emboli

Nurses Alerts:
♣ Select site on Dominant arm
♣ Remove the hair with clippers if necessary.
♣ Always Catheterize distal veins first (Metacarpals).
♣ Donot Repalpate the vein after cleaning the site.
♣ Angle of Insertion 150
to 300.
♣ Provide good source of light.
♣ Ensure cannula is in bevel up position during insertion.
♣ Use a well padded splint if necessary (especially for
paediatric clients).
♣ Avoid blood sampling above the cannula site.
Golden rules for preventing phlebitis
Wash and/or disinfect your hands thoroughly
Prepare the Venipuncture site carefully
Use flexible catheters
Select the smallest catheter gauge possible
Always check the physiochemical properties of the infusate or drug
Infiltration Extravasation
Infiltration occurs when the infusion cannula
moves out of a vein, and the medication or fluid
seeps into the surrounding tissue.
Extravasation,occurs when a vesicant (that is
irritating to human tissue) drug is administered
into the surrounding tissue instead of into the
intended vein.
