An INS task force was formed to review and update the 2017 vesicant list, identify current issues and risks relative to vesicant administration, and revise the extravasation prevention checklist. Presented by members of the task force, this INS virtual symposium addresses 5 challenging aspects of mitigating the risk of extravasations: identifying vesicants, optimal vascular access device and site choice, clinical practices to avoid extravasation, prevention of legalities with case study examples, and implementation of organizational policies and procedures. Extravasation may result in severe patient injuries including scarring, permanent functional impairment, and even loss of a limb. Such injuries are preventable when clinicians identify which medications and solutions are vesicants, understand infusion-related risks, and implement preventative interventions. At the conclusion of the meeting, you will be able to claim 5 contact hours and 10 CRNI® recertification units.

INS 2023 Virtual Conference will provide a great alternative for those who are not able to attend the in-person event. Participants will have the ability to attend 15 select sessions virtually and on-demand. This option also enables CRNI®s to earn up to 30 recertification (RU) units. The virtual conference will include some of the sessions in the veINS track devoted to an important aspect of infusion therapy, the vasculature and sessions included in the alternative care setting track dedicated to the care of patients outside of acute care settings.

This Infusion Nurses Society virtual symposium addresses error causation, including the impact of human factors, the hazards within medication preparation and administration, the risk of medication errors with infusion pumps, the effects of an adverse event upon the clinician, and the use of teamwork as a foundation for safety. The propensity of humans to err causes us to continually strive to find ways to minimize errors when infusing medications. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the risk for errors due to staff shortages, concern about exposure to the virus, the emotional and physical stress of providing patient care, and the way patient care is delivered. This program offers new perspectives on preventing patient harm, supporting health care clinicians, and developing organizational safety systems. At the conclusion of the meeting you will be able to claim 5 contact hours and 10 CRNI® recertification units.

INS 2022 Virtual Conference will provide a great alternative for those who are not able to attend the in-person event.
