Use of Sonography to place peripheral IVs

I have been asked to research policies and procedures concerning the use of Sono-guided peripheral IV placement. We are usually asked to assist in difficult IV placement for imaging studies. In the past, this has not gone well. I have seen at various sites and references that the length of the cannula used as well as the removal of the cannula after the study are points to be considered. These are in patients who are not really candidates for centrakl lines or PICC lines since they are typically not recieving long term IV therapy, i.e., discharged after the study is completed.

Thanks,

Pat Murphy, Northern Virginia

Sono placement of Peripheral IV

Any information would help. I can't see reinventing the wheel and AVA is the professional source for evidenced based practice.

I am speaking on this subject

I am speaking on this subject in a short breakout session at the upcoming AVA conference. I can send you my latest ppt, policy, competency, and example videos if that would help. I have been teaching this skill to RNs in a classroom format for a while now. Outcomes have been positive. I will be sharing more details of setting up a program at the conference.

IV ultrasound starts

My opinion on starting an peripheral IV using ultrasound is that it is an advanced practice skill for those that have used the ultrasound for venipunture for several years.  I would not recommend teaching this to new ultrasound users.  There is no standards for this as far as I know.
