Why do we use iv"s: fluid replenishment, fast pain management, blood products (packed blood products) Infiltration/extravasation: when fluids are leaking outside the iv. Certain fluids can cause damage in the tissues around the site: phlebitis: inflammation. Mechanical is from movement, chemical is from the fluid you are giving: volume/fluid overload, air embolism: could migrate to the lungs, hematoma: collection or pocket of blood, sepsis: blood infection, bleeding. Reminders (reptile): r: redness, e: edema, p: pain, t: temperature. I: infiltration or infection: l: leaking, e: emboli. Parenteral nutrition: average post op adult requires 1,500 calories/day to keep the body from using protein stores. Common iv solutions do not meet this requirement: the peripheral parenteral nutrition (ppn) is administered through the peripheral vein.
