Gaining IV Access and Fluid Therapy - eCPD Tutorial

Description

Course Summary

IV access is a part of daily life as an RVN but they’re not all plain sailing. Tricky veins can pose a challenge! Learn about the different options we have for difficult IV placements. Once in place, it is vital we care for them correctly – phlebotomy scoring, flushing and daily IV care are all things to consider. Fluid therapy is also not a benign procedure, learn about why we give fluid therapy to different patients and what benefits can be achieved.

Introduction
– maybe most suitable for qualified nurses in general practice approaching a new topic or looking for a refresher course

Intermediate
– maybe most suitable for qualified nurses in general practice along with referral / specialist nurses looking for a refresher course
