@haileyturner514010 ай бұрын
We were taught to “burp” the bag in nursing school. This is to keep air from getting into the line, and yes the pump will beep and stop the infusion if there is air, but we try to keep it from needing to beep or stop so the medication can be infused without interruption. Also, when there is air in the line, the machine will beep and then it may wake the patient up and it will stop the medication until the nurse is able to fix it. It’s not something that is an absolute necessity but it can be very helpful for the nurses and patients to go ahead and prevent any kind of disruption in medication delivery or needing to fix the line later while the patient may be sleeping or with visitors etc.

@haleighmadden532311 ай бұрын
Hi nurse here! There’s actually 2 kinds of lines you can have with IV fluids. 1 kind is on a pump that regulates the flow of the fluid or Med you are given. The other kind is straight to gravity. We will often use fluids to gravity if we need to get them in fast. The method shown in the video is used for a bag connected to IV gravity tubing. This is method of priming the tubing is not to make sure air bubbles don’t get in the line. It is to make sure that when that bag fully runs out, the extra air in the bag doesn’t get into the line at the end. If that happens it is a much more tedious process to remove that air from the line when you hang your next bag. When you push out all that air at the beginning, that ensures that when that bag runs out you will still have you IV tubing primed without extra air in the line. Hope this helps!

The air in the bag is to monitor how much fluid has been given and to infuse the full amount in the bag. This is accurate dosing if giving the full amount 1000ml. Side marking are in 100ml increments. If air is getting into the patient infusion line it’s not because of air in bag, it’s the incorrect level in the spike drip chamber. If the level is too low it can send some of the air in the drip chamber to the patient line. Drip chamber should be about 1/2 full, just enough to count the drops. Counting the drops use to be the old way of adjusting the infusion rate over a prolonged period of time, hours or day. FYI your body doesn’t suck in the fluid, gravity pushes it down, and that’s why the patient access needs to always be below the bag. When nurses take the air out of the bag they know the whole bag will be administered and don’t want to worry about checking on you at a specific time. Last ring if a IV pump is in place this is totally unnecessary. IV pumps need to see the change from fluid to air in the line or drip chamber (depending on model) to automatically stop when fully infused and is a safeguard built in to them. So no worries 😮

No need to draw air out of the bag. Just run the fluid through the line, and the air comes out first. Even if you see little bubbles in the line, they are not able to get into the vein. The fluid goes in, not the air. If you wanted to get air into the blood vessel,it would have to be a large volume of air, pushed in with force by hand. Impossible for air to be dripped in with fluids running passively.

If you are running the IV through a machine, which you should be, unless it is a trauma case, the machine will not allow the air through. Also, if you set your pump properly, it will stop before you get close to the air. I've been a nurse over a decade and have never had issues.

I had a pump malfunction once and fail to stop when the fluids were gone. By the time I realized it, the downstream portion of the line only had an inch or two of fluid left in it. Gravity or pump, I just prefer to burp the bag out of an abundance of caution (especially if I might need to sleep during an infusion, or if it’s going in a backpack where I can’t see it at a glance). I also find it easier to spike the bag upside down rather than hanging upright.
@bencallister550011 ай бұрын
Alternatively if you're using an IV pump just set the amount to be infused at 50-100 mLs less than what's in the bag (depending on infusion rate), then the alarm will remind you early to switch out the bags before you even risk running out of fluid (since you typically end up wasting a bit its really only a good idea with stuff like maintenance NS or LR, you don't want to waste something like TPN so this is still a good technique to know)

@alicetheoracle235111 ай бұрын
No there is no reverse pressure or "suction". The iv pump machine pushes fluid into your vein. If blood was going up the iv out of your body either 1: the iv pump was not running, or 2: the bag is not attached to the iv pump and the iv bag just ran out of fluid. The force of your heart pumping blood can slowly push a little bit of blood out of your body into the iv tubing if the iv is not clamped or does not have running fluid. The "burping" of the iv bag is not really necessary as the pumps we have nowdays wont pump if it detects air bubbles in the line.
