Necessary Equipment for Intravenous Injections
The necessary equipment for intravenous injections include:
– Local anesthetic for numbing the injected area
– A tourniquet to detect the suitable vein for injection
– An access cap to open when injecting drugs and close when not used
– A catheter tube to keep your vein remaining open
– A medical tape, bandage, and gauze to protect the injected area
– IV lines and bags for sending infusions
– A syringe for injected the drug into the catheter
– Imaging machines to check whether a central line is properly set
The exact equipment needed can vary, depending on some factors, such as the duration, the drugs to inject, and the speed of injection. [3]
