IV Therapy Complications 💉🔥

Starting and maintaining an IV is not as easy as 🥧 PIE 🥧 because complications can happen.

🔥 Just remember PIE:

👉 P for Phlebitis: inflammation of a vein

👉 I for Infiltration: leak of IV fluids or meds into the surrounding tissue.

👉 E for Extravasation: leak of vesicant meds (damaging) ⛔️ into the surrounding tissue.

⚠️ Always assess the IV site and stop an infusion if you suspect an IV therapy complication has occurred.
