Peripheral Vascular Parenteral Therapy: Risks & Management

Description

Title: Peripheral Vascular Parenteral Therapy: Risks & Management
Speaker: John Mason EMCA ALS

This course provides a condensed yet thorough review of the common risks associated with peripheral venous access and how to manage them.  Led by John Mason; a highly experienced paramedic, the course provides a realistic view of how to effectively navigate the safety concerns that can arise with intravenous therapy.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Discuss causes and pathophysiology of peripheral vascular access (PVA) associated phlebitis, infiltration, extravasation, occlusion, nerve/connective tissue injury, infection, air embolism, venous thrombosis, catheter damage, hematoma, venous spasm, circulatory overload, allergic reaction vasovagal reflex.
2. Discuss risk factors and diagnosis of PVA associated phlebitis, infiltration, extravasation, occlusion, nerve/connective tissue injury, infection, air embolism, venous thrombosis, catheter damage, hematoma, venous spasm, circulatory overload, allergic reaction vasovagal reflex.
3. Discuss prevention, treatment and management of PVA associated phlebitis, infiltration, extravasation, occlusion, nerve/connective tissue injury, infection, air embolism, venous thrombosis, catheter damage, hematoma, venous spasm, circulatory overload, allergic reaction vasovagal reflex.
