Summary

This video provides a detailed guide on how to properly administer intravenous (IV) injections. The presenter demonstrates step-by-step techniques for inserting a needle into a patient's vein, using safety protocols such as hand hygiene and alcohol wipes. It covers both the standard injection method and how to administer medication through an existing IV infusion. Viewers will learn the importance of proper needle angles, ensuring blood flow during insertion, and safely administering medication. The video emphasizes safety, proper equipment handling, and preventing infections, providing valuable insights for healthcare professionals.

Takeaways

• 😀 Always wash your hands thoroughly before performing any medical procedure to ensure hygiene and prevent infection.
• 😀 A tourniquet should be applied to the patient's upper arm to make veins more visible and easier to access for injection.
• 😀 The best vein for intravenous (IV) injection is the median cubital vein, which should be selected carefully for ease of access.
• 😀 Use an alcohol swab to disinfect the injection site, cleaning in a single direction to avoid contamination.
• 😀 When setting up the syringe, ensure the needle bevel is facing upwards and use a one-hand technique to open the syringe securely.
• 😀 Insert the needle into the vein at a 30° angle to minimize discomfort and avoid damage to the vein.
• 😀 Confirm successful vein entry by observing the return of blood into the syringe, signaling that the needle is properly placed.
• 😀 Slowly inject the medication into the vein to ensure safe delivery and prevent vein irritation or injury.
• 😀 After the injection, remove the needle carefully and dispose of it properly to avoid accidental needle-stick injuries.
• 😀 Always apply pressure to the injection site with an alcohol swab and cover it with a bandage to prevent contamination.
• 😀 When working with an existing infusion line, ensure the line is locked before administering the injection, and consider bending the infusion line to stop fluid flow temporarily.

Q & A

What is the purpose of the video?

The video aims to demonstrate the proper technique for administering intravenous (IV) injections, providing step-by-step instructions for healthcare professionals.

What are the key steps in preparing for an IV injection?

The key steps include selecting an appropriate injection site, cleaning the area with an alcohol swab, applying a tourniquet, and ensuring the correct needle and syringe size are used.

Why is the alcohol swab used before administering an IV injection?

The alcohol swab is used to disinfect the skin at the injection site to prevent infection and ensure a sterile environment for the injection.

What angle should the needle be inserted at for an intravenous injection?

The needle should be inserted at a 30° angle for proper placement in the vein. A 90° angle would be incorrect, as it would not align the needle properly with the vein.

How can a nurse confirm that the needle is correctly placed in the vein?

The nurse can confirm correct placement by checking for blood flow in the syringe after aspiration. If blood enters the syringe, it indicates that the needle is in the vein.

What should be done after confirming the needle is in the vein?

Once the needle is confirmed to be in the vein, the tourniquet should be removed, and the medication can be slowly injected into the vein.

How should the syringe be held during an IV injection?

The syringe should be held with one hand, with the needle's opening facing upward. The other hand should be used to manage the patient's arm and the syringe.

What should be done if an IV infusion line is already in place before administering an injection?

If an IV infusion is already in place, the nurse should ensure the IV line is properly clamped or locked to prevent infusion, and then administer the injection directly into the vein through the infusion site.

What is the importance of the angle at which the needle is inserted?

The correct angle ensures that the needle is aligned with the vein for smooth insertion, while a wrong angle can cause damage to the vein or make the injection difficult.

What precautions should be taken when disposing of the needle after an IV injection?

After the injection, the needle should be safely disposed of in a proper sharps container to avoid injury or infection. The cap should not be replaced by hand as this could result in needle-stick injuries.
