What is a prefilled/preloaded syringe?
syringe packaged in a tamper proof container with the medication already in the barrel.
What is a medicated solution?
parenteral medication packeaged in an IV bag and administered as an IV infusion
An infusion is?
liquid medication delivered through a vein.
What routes are listed as parenteral?
Intradermal injection
Subcutaneous injection
Intramuscular injection
Intravenous Acess
Intraosseous infusion
Within the dermal layer of the skin.
Intradermal
What does subcutaneous mean?
relates to the layer of loose connective tissue between the skin and muscle.
How does subcutaneous injection work?
The tissue has few blood vessels and thus promotes slow, sustained absorption, which prolongs a drug's effect on the body.
Intramuscular means
Within the muscle
IV access also known as
Cannulation
IV Access definition
Surgical puncture of a vein to deliver medication or withdraw blood
Peripheral venous access
Surgical puncture of a vein in the arm, leg or neck
Central venous access is
A surgical puncture of the internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral vein.
Picc line is
Peripherally inserted central catheter (line threaded into the central circulation via a peripheral site
Chemically prepared solution tailored to the body's specific needs.
Intravenous fluid
Intravenous solutions containing large proteins that cannot pass through capillary membranes
Colloids
Crystalloids
Intravenous solutions that contain electrolytes but lack the larger proteins associated with colloids.
List crystalloid classes. Hint: 3 of them
Isotonic
Hypertonic
Hypotonic
Flexible, clear plastic tubing that connects the solution bag to the IV cannula.
Administration tubing
Cannula
Hollow needle used to puncture a vein
Microdrip tubing delivers
A relatively small amount of fluid
Macrodrip tubing delivers
a relatively large amount of fluid
Spike
Sharp-pointed device inserted into the IV solution bag's administration set port.
State at which solutions on opposite sides of a semipermeable membrane are in equal concentrations
Isotonic
State in which a solution has a higher solute concentration on one side of a semipermeable membrane than on the other side
Hypertonic
State in which a solution has a lower solute concentration on one side of a semipermeable membrane than on the other side
Hypotonic
Drip chamber is
clear plastic chamber that allows visualization of the drip rate
Drip rate is
pace at which the fluid moves from the bag in the patient
Device that regulates the size of drops
Drop former
gtts means?
drops
Self sealing membrane into which a hypodermic needle is inserted for drug administration
Medication injection port
Rigid plastic device specifically constructed to fit into the hub of an intravenous cannula
Needle adapter
IV tubing used to extend a macrodrip of microdrip setup
Extension tubing
What is a measure volume administration set?
IV setup that delivers specific volumes of fluid.
Calibrated chamber of Berutrol IV administration tubing that enables precise measurement and delivery of fluids and medicated solutions
Burette chamber
Microdrip and Macro drip rates
Microdrip is 60 gtts= 1ml
Macrodrip is 10 gtts= 1ml
What is administration tubing that contains a filter to prevent clots or other debris from entering the patient?
Blood tubing
Over the needle catheter/angiocatheter is
Semiflexible catheter enclosing a sharp metal stylet. OCFRD uses these.
Hollow needle catheter does not have?
A teflon tube but itself inserted into the vein and secured there.
Catheter inserted through the needle is also called?
Intracatheter
It is a teflon catheter inserted through a large metal stylet.
For pediatric or other patients with tiny delicate veins use?
Hollow-needle catheter
Venous constricting band is
a flat rubber band used to impede venous return and make veins easier to see.
HBOC's means
Hemoglobin-based oxygen-carrying solutions
There are two different types of HBOC's, name them
PolyHeme(derived from expired donated human blood) and Hemopure(derived from bovine (cow) blood.
Hemopure has a shelf life of?
does not require refrigeration and lasts 3 years
PolyHeme has a shelf life of?
1 year and requires refrigeration
Perfluorocarbons are an oxygen carrying solution, name two products in development?
LiquiVent and Oxygent
