Peripheral IV Access

The Peripheral IV Access SOP outlines a comprehensive, step-by-step protocol for healthcare professionals to safely establish and manage peripheral intravenous lines.

This procedure emphasizes aseptic technique, patient communication, and proper equipment preparation to reduce risks such as infection, infiltration, and catheter-related bloodstream infections (CR-BSI).

It details site selection, vein assessment, catheter insertion, securement, priming of IV tubing, and initiation of infusion, as well as safe IV removal and site care.

Adhering to universal precautions and infection control standards, this SOP supports optimal patient outcomes and compliance with clinical best practices.

Designed for nurses, nurse practitioners, and medical assistants, it is essential for consistent, high-quality peripheral IV therapy.

What People Are Saying:

I find this Peripheral IV Access protocol invaluable for guiding clinicians through the critical steps of initiating and managing peripheral IV lines. The emphasis on aseptic technique and patient safety helps minimize complications and improve infusion success. Clear instructions on catheter insertion, securement, and removal make it a practical resource for all providers performing IV therapy. - Sheila H., NP
