Hand hygiene is critical. Sterile no-touch technique is the best, although using the regular gloves with no-touch technique is also acceptable. Prepare the skin adequately with alcohol or chlorhexidine prior to cannulation. Always swab the bung with alcohol or chlorhexidine swabs before accessing the IVC.

How do you learn an IV cannula?

Procedure Steps

  1. Introduce yourself to the patient.
  2. Sanitise your hands using alcohol cleanser.
  3. Re-check the vein.
  4. Clean the patients skin with the alcohol wipe.
  5. Remove the needle cover.
  6. Flashback of blood is seen in the hub.
  7. Advance the rest of the cannula into the vein.
  8. Remove the needle.

What is cannulation nursing?

Intravenous cannulation is a process by which a small plastic tube (a cannula) is inserted into a peripheral vein. The subsequent venous access can be used for the administration of fluids, medication and nutrition. In some cases, blood samples can also be obtained from the cannula.

Which vein is best for cannulation?

The preferred sites for IV cannulation

  • Hand. Dorsal arch veins.
  • Wrist. Volar aspect.
  • Cubital fossa. Median antecubital, cephalic and basilic veins.
  • Foot. Dorsal arch.
  • Leg. Saphenous vein at the knee.

Is Cannulating difficult?

Intravenous cannulation may be difficult and is associated with a high risk of complications. If the cannulation fails, this may further delay treatment and transport, potentially resulting in adverse patient outcomes. Cannulation may be difficult if the patient’s veins can not be seen or felt.

How many types of cannula are there?

There are two main types of cannula: IV cannulas: IV cannulas consist of short, flexible tubing doctors place into a vein. Nasal cannulas: Nasal cannulas consist of flexible tubing that sits inside the nostrils and delivers oxygen.

How many times can you attempt cannulation?

If venepuncture or peripheral cannulation is unsuccessful after a maximum of 2 attempts (1 if the procedure is problematic) the health care professional must request a more experienced health care practitioner to undertake the procedure.

What happens if a cannula is put in wrong?

When an IV is not inserted properly or is otherwise misused, fluids or medicine can leak into the surrounding tissue. This is called IV infiltration, and it can cause harm ranging from irritation to fluid overload, infections, nerve damage, stroke, brain injury, or even death.
