NCLEX-RN Complete Prep Course — Lesson 60: IV Therapy and Venous Access: Peripheral IVs, Central Lines, Infiltration, Phlebitis, Extravasation, and Air Embolism

Sarah Mitchell covers peripheral IV site selection, gauge, dressings, and assessment, then separates infiltration, phlebitis, and extravasation by signs and first action, including why the catheter stays in for a vesicant. She reviews PICC lines, ports, sterile dressing changes, 10 milliliter flushes, the air embolism drill, fluid overload and speed shock, isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions, line removal, and the CLABSI bundle. Scenarios cover norepinephrine extravasation and an open central line.
