what are major uses of IV therapy?
overcome dehydration, restore blood volume, nutrition, drug therapy, drug carrier
what is the definition and time period of IV infusion?
infuse large volumes (500-1000mL) over 8-12 hrs
what are the reasons for use of IV infusion?
drug therapy, KVO, nutrition, reduce dehydration, restore blood volume
what is the definition and reasons for use of IV piggback?
delivery of small volume of liquid (25-100mL) over a short time (20-30 mins) period for drugs that need intermittant delivery. good for drug not stabile in solution and don't need to repuncture patient
how is hydrostatic pressure used in IVs?
hydrostatic pressure is the difference pressure between 2 substances and this will allow the valve to open/close on the primary IV to allow the piggyback to run into the patient when it is hung higher than the large IV. Primary IV restarts by opening back check valve
what is the definition and reasons for using IV push?
administering smaller drug (2-10mL) directly into port on IV tubing or vein. the drug may not be compatible with IV and can’t be given patient. Need to flush in slowly (1mL/min)and don’t have to puncture pt again.
what is the definition and advantages of heparin lock?
has a rubber lock seal to prevent blood pressure for pushing blood back out into tubing and has a catheter with low dose of heparin around to keep blood clots free.

adv: avoids repeated puncturing, usually for IV push admin, or use of IVPB, IV infusion
what are common characteristics and size of IV solutions?
sterile, free of pyrogens, no bacteriostatic agents, particulate free, size of 250-1000mL
what is the definition of irrigation solutions?
solutions used to bathe and moisten body tissues. usually NaCl or sterile water
what is the definition and size of dialysis solutions?
peritoneal cavity, used to remove toxins normally excreted by the kidney. remains in cavity for 30-90mins and siphoned out. repeated as needed and container size of ~2L
what are the contents and Adv/Disadv of TPN bag?
contains AA, lipids, dextrose.
All 3 given at once, easy to administer for nurse and at home. But problems with bacterial contamination and order changes require new formulation.
what are common characteristics of small volume parenteral containers?
sterile, pyrogen & particulate free, stability (through antioxidants, inert gases, or unique packaging)
what is the definitions and 2 types of vials?
a glass or plastic drug contianer sealed by a flip-top lid and rubber closure with protective aluminum band and pull off tab
2type:single dose or multiple dose with bacteriostatic agent, double-chamber vial that needs a mixin’
what is the definition of an ampoules/amps
small, heat sealed, single use glass containers with single dose of drug
what is the size range of syringes?
size 1mL - 60mL
what is the composition and types of syringes?
barel, plunger, tip (luer, luer lock, eccentric, catheter). types:
tuberculin, insulin, oral, irrigation
what is the definition of IV catheters?
plastic devices placed into a patients vein using a need which is removed, leaving the plstic tube through which an infusin runs.
what properties must a filter have?
.22um filer, large surface area, can't bind to drug or inactive it, not filter out drug, have an air eliminating device
asceptic product has what chance of being contaminated?
1x1000
what are the characteristics and inner surface pH of type I glass?
high quality borosilicate material that is least reactive and has a neutral pH of inner surface
what are the characteristics and inner surface pH of type II glass?
soda lime glass that has been washed in gaseous HCl or H2SO4 that may leach acid from its surface. has acidic pH of inner surface
what are the characteristics and inner surface pH of type III glass
soda lime glass composed of NaOH and CaO which may leach bases from its surface. basic pH of inner surface
