Surgical puncture of a vein to deliver medication or withdraw blood. AKA Cannulation

• -Fluid/Blood replacement
• -Drug Administration
• -Obtaining venous blood specimens for lab analysis

Surgical puncture of a vein in the arm, leg or neck.

Surgical puncture of the internal jugular, subclavian or femoral vein

Line threaded into the central circulation via a peripheral site

Chemically prepared solution tailored to the body's specific needs

Intravenous solutions containing large proteins that cannot pass through capillary membranes

Intravenous soultions that contain electrolytes but lack the larger proteins in colloids

State in which solutions on opposite sides of a semipermiable membrane are in equal concentration

State in which a solution has a higher solute concentration on one side of a semipermiable membrane that on the other side.

State in which a solution has lower solute concentration on one side of a semipermiable membrane than the other

• -Isotonic
• -Hypertonic
• -Hypotonic

Lactated Ringers: Isotonic electrolyte solution with Sodium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Calcium Chloride, Sodium Lactate in water.

Normal Saline: Isotonice electrolyte solution with .9 percent Sodium Chloride in water

5% Dextrose (D5W): Hypotonic glucose solution used to keep vein open and supply glucose

• -Label with fluid type and expiration date
• -Medication Administration Port
• -Administration Set Port

Flexible, clear plastic tubing that connects the solution bag to the IV cannula

Hollow needle used to puncture the vein

Administration tubing that delivers a relatively small amount of fluid

Administration tubing that delivers a relatively large amount of fluid

Sharp-pointed device inserted into the IV soultion bag's administration set port

Clear plastic chamber that allows visualization of the drip rate

Pace at which the fluid moves from the bag into the patient

Device that regulates the side of drops

Self-sealing membrane into which a hypodermic needle is inserted for drug administration

Rigid plasted device specifically constructed to fit into the hub of an intravenous cannula

IV tubing used to extend a macrodrip or microdrip setup

IV setup that delivers specific volumes of fluid

Calibrated chamber of Berutol IV administration tubing that enables precise measurement and delivery of fluids and medicated solutions

Administration tubing that contains a filter to prevent clot or other debris from entering patient

Semiflexible catheter enclosing a sharp metal stylet

Stylet does not have a Teflon tube but it itself is inserted into the vein and secured there

Teflon catheter inserted through a large metal styler

Flat rubber band used to impede venous return and make veins easier to see

Leakage of fluid or medication from the blood vessel that is commonly found with infiltration

• -Tourniquet in place still?
• -Edema at site?
• -Cannula abutting valve or vein wall?
• -Administration set control valve closed?
• -IV bag too low?
• -Completely filled drip chamber?
• -Catheter patent?

• -Pain
• -Local infection
• -Pyrogenic reaction
• -Allergic reaction
• -Catheter shear
• -Inadvertent arterial puncture
• -Circulatory overload
• -Thrombophlebitis (vein inflammation)
• -Thrombus formation
• -Air embolism
• -Nerosis
• -Anticoagulants

Foreign protein capable of producing fever

Foreign particle in blood

An excess in intravascular fluid

Inflammation of the vein

Blood clot

Air in the vein

The sloughing off of dead tissue

Drug that inhibits blood clotting

Peripheral IV cannula with distal medication port used for intermittent fluid or medication infusions. Saline is injected into the device to maintain its patency

Same as Saline Lock only with Heparin

Surgically implanted port that permits repeated access to central venous circulation

Needle that has an opening on the side of the shaft instead of the tip

Gravity-flow device that regulates fluid's passage through and electromechanical pump

Outside the vein

Device that delivers fluids and medications under pressure

Glass container with color-coded, self sealing rubber top

Device that holds blood tubes

Long, exposed needle that screws into the vacutainer and is inserted directly into the vein

• -Red: No anticoagulant
• -Blue: Citrate
• -Green: Heparin
• -Purple: EDTA
• -Gray: Fluoride

Elevated numbers of red and white blood cells

The destruction of red blood cells

Within the bone

A sharp, pointed instrument

• -Fracture
• -Infiltration
• -Growth plate damage
• -Complete insertion
• -Pulmonary embolism
• -Infection

• -Fracture near site
• -Osteogenesis imperfecta
