The IV System Administration and Assessment SOP provides a standardized approach for healthcare providers to effectively evaluate and manage intravenous therapy systems.

This detailed protocol covers essential topics including IV solution types (isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic), infusion equipment, and techniques for accurate flow rate regulation by gravity or pump.

It emphasizes regular IV site assessments for signs of complications like infiltration or phlebitis, continuous patient monitoring, and precise documentation to enhance clinical outcomes.

The guide also addresses infection control, emergency responses, and factors affecting infusion rates such as tubing kinks or patient movement.

Designed for nurses, nurse practitioners, and infusion specialists, this SOP ensures safe, consistent IV therapy aligned with best practices and current clinical standards.
