  1. Venous CannulationLearning Resource • Aim and Learning Outcomes • Overview – what do you need to do • NDHB Learning Handout • BD Interactive Learning Module • Resource Articles • Self Test • Competency Assessment Tool Version 1 – February 2009

  2. Aim: To provide registered nurses with the knowledge and skills to safely perform venous cannulation Learning Outcomes On completion of the readings and practice session the nurse will be able to: • Describe rationale for selection of cannulation device • Discuss criteria for vein selection • Demonstrate selection of veins • Discuss potential complication, causes and nursing actions • Demonstrate safe cannulation technique Version 1 – February 2009

  3. OverviewWhat do you need to do? • Discuss with your manager and educator – is this right for you right now? • Read through the training handout • Work through the “Interactive learning module – produced by BD Medical - Medical Surgical Systems • Read the resource articles • Complete the Self Test • Book in for a practise and training session with your Venous Cannulation Link nurse • Develop expertise by performing cannulation supported by your Link nurse or a credentialed peer • Be signed off as competent, using the competency assessment Tool CHECKLIST – PRINT AND TAKE TO YOUR TRAINING SESSION Version 1 – February 2009

  6. Self Test • When determining the type and size of cannulation device to use, you need to consider the expected use over: The next 6 hours The next 24 hours The next 48 hours The next 72 hours a b. c. d. Version 1 - February 2009

  7. No, when determining size, consider the fluid type expected to be used over the next 72 hours.  This may prevent an additional venepuncture.  Always use the smallest needle/cannula that you can to reduce the risk of phlebitis Version 1 - February 2009

  8. Yes! When determining size, consider the fluid type expected to be used over the next 72 hours.  This may prevent an additional venepuncture.  Always use the smallest needle/cannula that you can to reduce the risk of phlebitis Version 1 - February 2009

  9. 2 For an adult patient going to surgery, who may require blood, your best choice of cannula size would be: 22 g 24 g 20 g 18 g a. b. c. d. Version 1 - February 2009

  10. No, an 18g is recommended for surgical patients and for blood administration (Although blood can be given through smaller catheters, it flows better through a larger lumen). Version 1 - February 2009

  11. Yes! • An 18g is recommended for surgical patients and for blood administration (Although blood can be given through smaller catheters, it flows better through a larger lumen). Version 1 - February 2009

  12. Veins below a previous IV insertion site should be avoided for: 12 hours 24 hours 48 hours 72 hours a. b. c. d. Version 1 - February 2009

  13. No, veins below a previous IV insertion sites should be avoided for 72 hours Version 1 - February 2009

  14. Yes! Veins below a previous IV insertion site should be avoided for 72 hours Version 1 - February 2009

  15. A vein should be at least ______of the diameter of the cannula to be used. the same diameter twice the diameter three times the diameter as large as possible a. b. c. d. Version 1 - February 2009

  16. No, the vein should be twice the diameter of the cannula to be used. First determine the size of cannula required, and then choose the vein. Version 1 - February 2009

  17. Yes! The vein should be twice the diameter of the cannula to be used. First determine the size of cannula required, and then choose the vein. Version 1 - February 2009

  18. When choosing a vein to cannulate, avoid: Joints, straight veins, areas of skin inflammation Joints, distal veins, arms with an artreriovenous shunt Joints, areas of skin inflammation, veins below previous IV insertion sites, arms with an artreriovenous shunt Distal veins, straight veins, hand veins a. b. c. d. Version 1 - February 2009

  19. No, straight, distal veins are recommended. Hand veins, being distal, can be used if they are large enough to accommodate the cannula required. Version 1 - February 2009

  20. Yes! AVOID • Veins below a previous IV site (for 72 hours). • Veins below a phlebotic area. • Areas of skin inflammation, bruising. • Joints. • Arms affected by mastectomy, arteriovenous shunt. • Anterior aspect of forearm. Version 1 - February 2009

  21. Tourniquets should be placed _________above the intended insertion site. 2 cm as close as possible 5 cm 10-15 cm a. b. c. d. Version 1 - February 2009

  22. No, apply the tourniquet 10 - 15 cm above intended insertion site.  Apply snugly to trap venous blood, without occluding the pulse. Version 1 - February 2009

  23. Yes! Apply the tourniquet 10 - 15 cm above intended insertion site.  Apply snugly to trap venous blood, without occluding the pulse. Version 1 - February 2009

  25. No, insertover the needle cannula at 15-30° angle with bevel up.  As soon as flash back of blood observed, lower the angle to skin level.         Version 1 - February 2009

  26. Yes! Insertover the needle cannula at 15-30° angle with bevel up.  As soon as flash back of blood observed, lower the angle to skin level.         Version 1 - February 2009

  27. Potential causes of phlebitis include: 1. tourniquet applied incorrectly 2. puncturing the back of vein 3. site not changed regularly (72-96hr) 4. vein too small for cannula 1 and 2 2 and 3 1 and 3 3 and 4 a. b. c. d. Version 1 - February 2009

  28. Phlebitis Potential Causes Needle/cannula size inappropriate Site not changed regularly Nursing Action Use large cannula/needle for caustic medication. Choose vein twice the diameter of cannula/needle. Peripheral IV sites should be changed every 72-96 hours.  DO NOT wait for redness to appear, by then it is too late. No, Version 1 - February 2009

  29. Phlebitis Potential Causes Needle/cannula size inappropriate Site not changed regularly Nursing Action Use large cannula/needle for caustic medication. Choose vein twice the diameter of cannula/needle. Peripheral IV sites should be changed every 72-96 hours.  DO NOT wait for redness to appear, by then it is too late. Yes! Version 1 - February 2009

  30. 9 Nursing actions that can reduce the potential for extravasation (tissuing) include: Stablising the cannula well NOT placing over a joint Entering the vein at 15-30º All of the above a. b. c. d. Version 1 - February 2009

  31. Potential Causes Needle/Cannula dislodged from vein Vein doesn’t seal around cannula/needle Nursing Action Don’t place over a joint. Stabilise cannula well. Observe regularly for oedema, coolness, tenderness. Enter vein at 15-30° angle to reduce cutting of vein wall fibres. Yes Version 1 - February 2009

  32. Peripheral IV site and dressing should be changed every: 24 – 48 hours 72 – 96 hours 5 – 7 days only when redness appears a. b. c. d. Version 1 - February 2009

  33. No, Change IV site and dressing Q 72 - 96 hours.  Observe site 8 hourly, change dressing as needed.  Change IV site at first sign of redness, inflammation even if less than 72 hours. Version 1 - February 2009

  34. Yes! Change IV site and dressing Q 72 - 96 hours.  Observe site 8 hourly, change dressing as needed.  Change IV site at first sign of redness, inflammation even if less than 72 hours. Version 1 - February 2009
