Source: Madeline Lassche, MSNEd, RN and Katie Baraki, MSN, RN, College of Nursing, University of Utah, UT The purpose of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIV) insertion is to infuse medications, perform intravenous (IV) fluid therapy, or inject radioactive tracers for special examination procedures. Placing a PIV is an invasive procedure and requires the use of an aseptic, no-touch technique. Common IV venipuncture sites are the arms and hands in adults and the feet in children. According to...

Impression Management Techniques IV: Altercasting
0 Views •
2025
Altercasting is a strategic communication technique in which an individual imposes a specific identity or social role onto another person to influence their behavior and shape the interaction. By presuming a role—such as “responsible leader” or “patient person”—altercasting encourages the target to conform to that identity, often aligning their behavior with the expectations associated with the role. The power of this tactic lies in its subtlety; once a role is assigned, it becomes socially...

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV

2025
Stress often leads to unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating, which offer short-term relief but ultimately increase long-term health risks. These behaviors create a cycle that temporarily lowers stress levels but can result in severe long-term health consequences. Breaking these habits is essential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall well-being. Three primary changes that support better health include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake,...

There are technical obstacles to measuring current flux through multiple ion channels simultaneously, and later discerning what portion of the transmembrane current is due to each channel type. To address this need, this method presents a way to generate the IV curve of individual channel types using specific frequency components.

In this video, we have demonstrated a step-by-step procedure of pulmonary artery catheterization by inserting an intravascular catheter through jugular vein and reach the pulmonary artery to measure the cardiac chamber pressure in porcine model.
FAQs
Blood return serves as an immediate indication that the needle has entered the vessel. This confirmation supports advancing the flexible catheter into the vein rather than relying on needle placement alone. Once the catheter is positioned, the needle is removed, leaving the catheter available for delivering fluids, medications, blood products, or obtaining samples.
Vein selection affects whether the catheter can be placed accurately and used reliably, while aseptic preparation helps protect the access site from contamination. These factors address different risks: choosing an appropriate vessel supports successful entry, and maintaining sterility supports safer care. Competent practice requires attention to both rather than treating either as optional.
Key complications include infiltration, phlebitis, and infection. Their recognition matters because successful catheter placement does not by itself guarantee safe or continued function. Clinicians must remain alert to these problems after insertion so that vascular access continues to support treatment without compromising patient care. Monitoring for complications is therefore part of competent IV management.
The needle provides guidance during entry, but the flexible catheter is the component left in place for vascular access. Removing the needle after catheter advancement separates the sharp insertion instrument from the device used for treatment or sampling. This sequence allows the catheter to remain positioned while supporting safer, ongoing clinical use of the access site.
The workflow includes aseptic preparation, selection of an appropriate vein, needle guidance through the skin, confirmation of vessel entry through blood return, catheter advancement, needle removal, and securement of the device. Each stage contributes to a different outcome: sterility, accurate placement, retained access, or stability. Omitting any stage can reduce the reliability or safety of care.
Peripheral IV access supports several immediate clinical needs, including delivery of fluids, medications, and blood products, as well as collection of blood samples. Its value lies in providing a route for timely treatment or information gathering across clinical settings. The intended use also helps explain why accurate placement, catheter securement, and awareness of complications are important.
