Abstract

Venepuncture is the most commonly invasive procedure in hospitals. Intravenous (IV) cannulation is the second most in procedure for patients in hospital. Today 85–95% of all hospitalised receive IV’s in one form or another. They are associated with a range of complications that can be damaging to patients’ health and increase healthcare costs. In order to minimise the risk of these complications, thorough patient assessment and careful selection of catheter and site are essential.
