About the Event
Review of Anatomy and Physiology Related to Intravenous (IV) Therapy
Intravenous (IV) therapy involves the administration of fluids, medications, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream. Understanding the anatomy and physiology of the vascular system is crucial for effective IV therapy.
Anatomy Relevant to IV Therapy
Veins: Typically, peripheral veins in the arms and hands are used for IV access. Major veins include the cephalic, basilic, and median cubital veins.
Central Venous System: Central venous catheters (CVCs) are inserted into larger veins, such as the jugular or subclavian veins, and terminate in the superior vena cava.
Blood Flow: Understanding venous return and the pressure dynamics is essential for proper catheter placement and function.
