hi, have two questions. first, would it matter where the subcut needle direction is- can it either toward the feet or towards the torso? Second, how long can the hypodermic cannula stay or how often does it need to be changed?
Thank you for your questions. For more information, please visit Subcutaneous infusion of fluids or medications | Clinical Skills which can be accessed via this page: Nursing, Therapies and Quality - Interact (interactgo.com). Also, it would be worth reading the associated policy which can be accessed her: Subcutaneous Fluid Administration (Hypodermoclysis) (CLP008) - Interact (interactgo.com)
I just want to know how to count the units on/in the bag if your using the entire bag of fluids over xx hours ??? the fluid starts before the 1 unit mark and there is no unit indicator after the 9 unit mark .. example… if giving 250 units of fluid at a time subQ.. what line on the bag do you count to when using a new bag? After spiking and priming the fluid line is above the 1 mark on the bag and it’s not a complete unit?? I cannot find this information anywhere.. any advice would be greatly appreciated..
@@anilmehta6425 oh thanks.. I finally figured it out.. my pup wasn’t on drip.. .. just 21/2 units everyday subQ.. I pushed it in gently.. the lines on the bags were different than the previous bag I got from my vet that was 88 miles away .. so I got confused how to do what they showed me with the first bag.. he went through quite a few bags..so I got the hang of it with the different bags from different companies.. Buck aka Mr.Man succumbed to his health problems 7 months after I started treatment.. he had a very good life and was an 18 year old jack Russell.. he is missed very much 🐾💕🐾 .. thanks for helpful hint tho..
I want to ask if a caregiver is allowed to infuse sodium chloride 0.9%..i am not trained, i just saw how the nurse do it, and its my 3rd time to do it to my patient, but i am afraid if its always correct
Anything that is high up and can hold the bag securely is adequate. I have a feeling this film was made by a student perhaps as a requirement in class. Or for a job interview.

Seriously? A hat/coat rack for an IV pole? Are things really that bad in the UK?
