What is the complication of IV?
There are a few complications. Two serious ones are phlebitis, which is inflammation and red streaks usually up the arm or, infiltration which is swelling and coolness at the IV site, that can lead to edema. Of course with any penetration into the skin you have a risk of infection.
What is the difference between phlebitis and infiltration?
Both terms phlebitis and infiltration are terms related to Intravenous. Infiltration is the situation when fluid from the IV leaks from the vein into the surrounding tissue. Phlebitis is the actual irritation that occurs in the vein and surrounding tissues.

Can anesthesia cause numbness of tongue for weeks after the shot?
I have found many posts from a Google search where people have had numbness on the tip of the tongue after anesthesia, and I am also experiencing it after 5 days. I didn't have a shot in my tongue; I had an IV, and nothing in my mouth, so I found it very strange. Others have had it with an operation that was in no way connected to the mouth, some had masks or other breating apparatus, but I had neither. Phlebitis is a term that means inflammation of a blood vessel. Phlebitis occurs quite commonly after the insertion of an IV. This can occur any where from 2.5% to 45% or more, when an IV is used. There is a wide variation because it depends on how phlebitis is defined, such as the place the IV is inserted, the duration that the IV has been in place, the type of material that the IV is made of, the length of the IV catheter, and on the existence of other disorders, such as diabetes. If you continue to feel pain and have swelling for more than three weeks you should connect with your physician.

It could be from something else. The other possibility may be that you have a condition called phlebitis. That is caused by an infection and sometimes happens after having an IV. If that's the case, you should see a doctor.
How do you tell if you have an infection at the site of an IV?
Infected IV sites may become red, inflamed, and warm to the touch. The site may also be painful. When an IV site shows signs of infection the IV should be discontinued and a new one started.

Why should blood not be drawn routinely from above an iv infusion site?
When asking why blood is drawn 'below' an IV site, it is presumed that this means distal (or further from the heart) when compared to the IV. The reason for drawing blood distal to the site of IV insertion is simple. When venous blood returns to the heart, administration of medications, electrolytes, and fluids is often through the IV. Therefore, we want to obtain blood which has not yet been affected by the medication or fluids given to the patient through the IV. For example, if a patient's blood magnesium levels are low, and we are giving therapeutic magnesium to increase these levels, we would want to monitor the effect of our treatment. Therefore, we would want to see the effect of magnesium infusion at a site without interference by the magnesium being infused through the IV. Therefore, we measure distal to the site of the IV, so that our blood sample represents the body's general levels magnesium, without influence from the IV line.
What is peripheral IV administration?
Peripheral IV administration involves the insertion of a cannula or catheter into a small peripheral vein. It is most commonly used for hospitalized patients. Peripheral IV administration is used for fluids with an osmolarity of less than 900 mOsm/L. Its risk is low but it is associated with a few complications such as phlebitis, pain, and infection.
