Viewers are guided through each step, ensuring a safe and effective IV injection procedure, with helpful tips for handling equipment and responding to the patient.

Takeaways

• 😀 Intravenous injection (IV) administration involves delivering medication directly into the vein at a 20-30 degree angle.
• 😀 Always identify the patient with at least two identifiers (name, date of birth, or medical record number) before administering any injection.
• 😀 Prepare the necessary equipment: clean gloves, alcohol swabs, hand sanitizer, syringes (1cc, 3cc, or 5cc), and the medication to be injected (from vial or ampoule).
• 😀 Use proper disinfection methods on the injection site, and ensure all tools, like needles and syringes, are sterile before use.
• 😀 Choose the appropriate vein for the injection, making sure to ensure visibility and accessibility before inserting the needle.
• 😀 Perform venous occlusion (tourniquet application) 5-10 cm above the injection site to help locate the vein for insertion.
• 😀 Have the patient perform a fist-clenching action if possible to aid vein distension for easier needle insertion.
• 😀 Insert the needle at a 20-30 degree angle and check for blood return to confirm correct intravenous placement before administering the medication.
• 😀 Slowly administer the medication once the needle is correctly positioned, then carefully withdraw the needle and dispose of it in a safety box.
• 😀 After injection, apply gentle pressure on the injection site, cover it with a sterile dressing, or apply a plaster if needed, and document the procedure for future reference.
