IV Catheters & IV Complications: Cardiovascular System - Medical Surgical |

[@kimshaughnessy3584]

I am an IV certified LPN and just graduated with my ADN after 22 years. The fact that the treatment for extravasation or infiltration depended on the ph of the solution was not taught in the program, only to apply warm compresses for both.. For extravastiion we were just taught to stop the Iv but not to aspirate and that you would adminsiter and antidote. Thank you for the interesting video.

Hello Ms Cathy, words can't express my gratitude enough for your wonderful reviews.I watched all your videos before taking the RN board exam .The last question was on administering an antidote, first in an extravasation of a vesicant.Your lectures are super helpful. God you.I am also into wound care and will definitely follow you on that.

Trying to figure out how I will discern phlebitis vs thrombophlebitis. Would I be correct in saying that with phlebitis, you will still be able to aspirate and deliver medications while with thrombophlebitis you would not be able to aspirate and you would meet resistance trying to deliver medications? Phlebitis and thrombophlebitis seem to have pretty similar symptoms otherwise (like redness, warmth, induration, etc)

[@LevelUpRN]

Phlebitis means inflammation of the vein, and thrombophlebitis is a type of phlebitis that is specifically caused by a blood clot. With thrombophlebitis, you are are more likely to encounter issues with aspiration and delivery of meds.

Do we admin antidote through the IV line?

[@LevelUpRN]

Yes, in some cases of extravasation.

When you say d/c do mean stop the iv from running and removing it?

[@jaseniamontano2946]

Yes

[@jaseniamontano2946]

D/C = stop , Remove= take out of patient arm
