Choosing an Intravenous Device Dressing and Securement Toolkit [virtual]
Patients in our care have varying needs for intravenous (IV) device dressing and securement. Each year, new IV device dressing and securement technology is made available. Many products which are vital to promote optimal IV device performance need to be available in our toolkit. However, choosing what, when, and for whom takes careful consideration and navigation. In this presentation, we will explore the role of these various products available for the variety of indications in which they are used, in accordance evidence-based data.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Describe the role of IV dressing and securement technologies to promote optimal IV performance.
2. Discuss contemporary evolutions and effectiveness of new products, across device and population types.
3. Apply knowledge gained to both simple and complex presentations in the learners’ health care practice.
