Abstract :
Intravenous therapy is important in modern medicine. Millions of patients are receiving infusion therapy for life saving
and for correcting the metabolic disorders through drugs, nutrition, solutions and blood products.
Eighty percent of the patients receive infusion therapy during their hospital stay. Many patients require intravenous
therapy when oral intake is impossible (e.g., during and after surgery). The availability of intravenous access allows
the practitioner to administer medications that can immediately relieve airway obstruction, reverse bradycardia, and
administer specific reversal drugs for patients who become inadvertently over sedated with benzodiazepines or opioids.
Peripheral intravenous cannulation is a simple procedure, but it tests the skill and the experience of both medical and
nursing personnel
