IV Solutions, Types of Catheters

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show Provides H20, electrolytes, & nutrientsAdminister medications & blood products.  
🗑
show 1. Crystalloids 2. Colloids  
🗑
Able to pass through semipermeable membrane. Isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic   show
🗑
Protein substances that cannot pass into extravascular space. Move fluid from interstitial space - Blood vessels   show
🗑
show Isotonic Solutions  
🗑
show Isotonic Solutions  
🗑
Lactated Ringers (common for surgery)   show
🗑
show Isotonic Solutions  
🗑
Pull fluid out of vascular space & into cells. 0.45% sodium chloride (half-normal saline) Ok to use in PIV   show
🗑
Main use: Replaces cellular fluid. Administer cautiously: Fluid shift from vascular system to cells, may lead to intravascular fluid depletion, may result in CV collapse & increased intracranial pressure   show
🗑
show Hypertonic Solutions  
🗑
Should be administered via central vein. 50% dextrose (D50) Only emergency such as hypoglycemia,   show
🗑
show Total parental nutrition. Do not mix with meds. (Hypertonic solution)  
🗑
Types of Venous Catheters   show
🗑
show PIV  
🗑

🗑
> 6 months   show
🗑
show Intraosseous (IO)  
🗑
Over the needle catheter, most commonly used, lengths 0.75"-1.25", diameters: 12 gauge-24 gauge   show
🗑
Disadvantages of peripheral IV's   show
🗑
show No might cause embolism  
🗑
show Peripheral IV's patient preparation  
🗑
Not recommended for continuous infusions. Non-pliable, infiltrate easily. Uses: blood draws, short term infusions 1-4 hrs.   show
🗑
show Midline Catheter  
🗑
Midline Catheters should not be used for   show
🗑
show Central venous catheters  
🗑
show Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC), non tunneled catheter, tunneled catheter, implanted port  
🗑
show Antecubital vein-most common insertion site, Tip located in superior vena cava, 20-24 inches long  
🗑
PICC advantages   show
🗑
PICC Disadvantages   show
🗑
show Used for therapy <2 weeks, generally limited to 5-7 days, Commonly used in ICU/ER, Multi-lumen access, Neck, chest or groin  
🗑
show Infuse large volumes quickly, any medication or blood, hemodynamic monitoring, multi-lumen access  
🗑
Non-Tunneled Central Lines Disadvantages   show
🗑
show Skin-Tunneled Catheters  
🗑
show Skin-Tunneled Catheters  
🗑
Indicated for frequent or continuous administration of IV substances, commonly called Port-a-Cath Central, long term   show
🗑
Surgically inserted under skin, minor surgical procedure, usually upper chest, sometimes in arm or abdomen   show
🗑
show Implanted Ports  
🗑
Implanted Ports Uses:   show
🗑
Implanted Port Risks:   show
🗑
show Fluid overload/pulmonary edema, embolism, infection, allergic reaction  
🗑
show Dyspnea, tachypnea, crackles, tachycardia, edema, weight gain, pulmonary edema  
🗑
show Restlessness, tachycardia, dyspnea, cough, crackles on auscultation, frothy sputum

🗑
Extracellular fluid   show
🗑
show Septicemia  
🗑
Bacteria on skin enters on catheter insertion, catheter movement at insertion site, external sources   show
🗑
show Fever, backache, headache, malaise, tachypnea, signs of poor perfusion: delayed cap. refill, poor color  
🗑
show 24 hrs. due to infection  
🗑
show Hub contamination, wipe vigorously every time accessed, change cap every 7 days  
🗑
show Designed to continually release chlorhexidine over 7 days (antimicrobial & antifungal) Provides one inch zone of inhibition, infection decreased 60%  
🗑
show Preferred method of stabilization PICC lines  
🗑
Allergic reaction s/s   show
🗑
show Stop infusion immediately, maintain vascular access, notify RN/MD, frequent assessment including VS  
🗑
Allergic reaction interventions   show
🗑
Local complications   show
