Want this question answered?
I was told to use a warm compress. I was told to submerge my lower arm in a sink of hot water and take aspirin daily.
You don't.
The best way to treat a swollen and infected hand due to IV use is to go to the doctor and let the doctor give you antibiotics.
IV started in antecubital of left arm
The difference between injection and infusion is the injection is completed with a syringe. The infusion is accomplished through an IV.
I had surgery and they put iv in , now its been a week and my arm hurts and vein. what does that mean what can i do
IV treatment requires the placement of an intravenous line (small plastic catheter in a vein), after which fluids and/or medications are dripped (or pushed) through the IV line.
Stick an IV in your arm.
Check with a doctor could have an infection
you should not move that arm just rap it up in a bandage
If the arms of the gown cannot be unsnapped to be put on, the IV can either be disconnected, the arm inserted into the sleeve and then reconnected, or the IV bag and line can go through the sleeve with the arm.
The sterile prevents venous irritation caused by the alkalinity of the solution.
