A Peripheral Intravenous (PIV) line is a small, flexible catheter inserted into a vein, typically in the arm or hand. It is used to administer fluids, medications, and other treatments directly into the bloodstream. PIV lines are crucial for providing reliable access for short-term intravenous therapy.
The insertion of a PIV line involves placing a small catheter into a vein using a sterile needle. The procedure is generally quick and involves minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia may be used to numb the area. After insertion, the line is secured and connected to an IV drip or syringe as needed.
While PIV line insertion is generally safe, potential risks include infection, bruising, or discomfort at the insertion site. Our team follows stringent infection control measures and monitors the site regularly to manage and minimize these risks effectively.
