Common Complications associated with IV
IV INFILTRATION & EXTRAVASION Infiltration is when non-vesicant solutions, IV solutions, and medications that do not have the potential to cause tissue damage through blistering and ulceration, accidentally leak into the surrounding tissue. Inadequate PIVC securement can lead to increased catheter tip motion, causing vessel wall injury or loss of integrity that results in infiltration. Extravasation is when vesicant solutions, IV solutions, and medications with the potential to cause tissue damage through blistering and ulceration, leak out of the veins and into the surrounding tissues.
PHLEBITIS Phlebitis is an inflammation of the vein. It can be caused by movement of the catheter relative to the vessel wall, resulting in pain and inflammation for the patient, or by a blood clot blocking a vein close to the surface of a person’s skin.
CELLULITIS When there is a local skin and soft tissue bacterial infection. This can occur anywhere on the skin, and is usually caused by a “break” in the skin barrier.
Most probable root cause: is DISLODGEMENT!
