A peripheral intravenous (PIV) tube delivers medication or fluids. Review instructions for going home and caring for a PIV tube in your child.

Children and youth, aged newborn to 17 years, who were admitted to the inpatient paediatric unit of the Regina General Hospital December 1, 2013 through February 14, 2014, and had a PIV catheter inserted. Participants were identified retrospectively through review of medical charts of all children admitted during the study period.

A peripheral intravenous line (PIV) is a catheter (a very thin, flexible tube) that is inserted into a small vein in the arm, hand, leg, or foot. This is done to give fluids or medicines directly into the bloodstream.

A Peripheral Line (PIV) is a small short plastic catheter most commonly used in patients in the hospital setting. They are placed in small veins in the scalp, hand or arm for short durations to delivering fluids or medicine. When the fluid in the PIV leaks (infiltrates) into tissue around the site that is known as an extravasation.

Discuss purpose of venipuncture/PIV placement, reinforce need for access and discuss risks and benefits; and provide “PIV Insertion in Your Child” education booklet (See Appendix E). Elicit child’s input, as developmentally appropriate, on IV site selection. Develop procedural support plan with child, family and Child Life, as appropriate.

Pediatric peripheral intravenous cannulation (PIVC) is a common procedure for hospitalized infants or children using parenteral therapy such as intravenous (IV) fluids, medications, and blood products.

2013年7月1日 · Peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVs) are mainstays of modern medical intervention, placed in >25 million US patients annually 1 and in at least 44% of pediatric inpatients. 2 Although PIVs are often essential for delivering medications, hydration, and nutrition to ill children, they are not without consequence or cost.

2023年11月20日 · Adequate pain control and anxiety relief during peripheral intravenous cannula (PIV) placement improves patient, parental, and staff satisfaction and reduces health care–induced stress in children. We noted a low rate of analgesic/anxiolysis use (<20%) and child life utilization (3%) in our institution.

Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIV) insertion is a traumatic experience for children and should not be repeated more frequently than necessary. Proper securement of pediatric IVs can preserve catheter life; however, little evidence is available to describe optimal methods.
