Intravenous System: IV solution bag
fastest way to deliver medications and fluid replacement throughout the body, because the circulation carries them
Intravenous System: Injection port
where medicine or fluids other than those in the current IV bag can be injected so that they will infuse into the patient's vein through the IV tubing. The injection port on the actual IV bag is used if we want to mix some kind of medication with the fluid that is in the IV bag
Intravenous System: Drip chamber
inside this chamber we can see the fluid drip down from the bag into the IV tubing. This is where we measure the speed of a manual IV setup; we look at this chamber and count the number of drops we see per minute. The drip chamber must always be half full.
Intravenous System: Roller clamp
what we use to control the rate at which the IV fluid infuses
Intravenous System: Piggyback device
used to mix different iv bag contents
Syringes: Safety syringe
Safety syringes have a safety mechanism built into the syringe. The needle on a safety syringe can be detachable or permanently attached.
Syringes: Insulin Syringe
made specifically for self injections and have friendly features: shorter needles, as insulin injections are subcutaneous (under the skin) rather than intramuscular, finer gauge needles, for less pain, and. markings in insulin units to simplify drawing a measured dose of insulin.
Syringes: Tuberculin Syringe
are small syringes with fine needles that hold up to one half to one cubic centimeter of fluid, used to administer medication (antigen) under the skin and perform a tuberculosis test called PPD.
Syringes: Prefilled/ Single dose
is a disposable syringe that is supplied already loaded with the substance to be injected
Syringes: Intravenous Injection
Some medications must be given by an intravenous (IV) injection or infusion. This means they're sent directly into your vein using a needle or tube. In fact, the term "intravenous" means "into the vein."
