Can a nurse insert a peripheral IV in the chest?
It would depend on the institutions policy on peripheral IVs. The chest and/or breast is an uncommon area for a peripheral IV to be inserted. There is no evidence to support a peripheral chest IV. Insertion of a chest and/or breast IV is potentially dangerous, and a very high risk. If the IV extravasates, the recipient would be at risk for a skin burn to the loss and or disfigurement of a breast, especially the woman. The question the nurse should ask before placement of the chest IV should be, "does the risk out weigh the benefit?" I would strongly recommend other alternatives for intravenous access, i.e intraosseus, central venous catheter, picc, etc.

To place an intravenous cannula (IVC) the preferred veins are in the patient's arm. As a general rule, the patient's non-dominant extremity should be used. That is, if a patient is right handed, the left arm should be used for IV access. In general, any distended vein may be used as long as all clinical and medical procedures and precautions are followed during the procedure.
