IV patency should be checked regularly, typically at the beginning of each shift and before administering medications or fluids. Additionally, it’s important to assess patency whenever there are changes in the patient's condition or if the IV site appears swollen or painful. Routine checks can help prevent complications such as infiltration or phlebitis. Always follow the institution's protocols for specific guidelines on IV patency checks.

Patency refers to the condition of being open, unobstructed or free of blockages. It is often used in the medical context to describe the openness of blood vessels, airways, or other tubular structures in the body.
in HSG a dye is injected transcervically to check the patency of the tube of femalel genital organs. so when the dye is injected it spills out to the peritoneal cavity which proves patency of the tubes and is known as peritoneal spillage.
IV lines are flushed because we want to maintain patency (meaning they flush easily and aren't clotted over). If we can't flush the line that means we can't administer medication either, of in an emergency we don't have quick access to one's blood.
Vein patency is openness of the vein to allow blood to pass through. If the vein is patent, it is not blocked.

To check the patency of a jejunostomy tube, you can attempt to aspirate stomach contents or instill air through the tube and listen using a stethoscope over the abdomen for air gurgling sounds. Another method is to inject a small amount of air into the tube and observe for air bubbles in a glass of water. If you suspect a blockage, notify the healthcare provider for further evaluation.
Patency means openness. Having open blood vessels is a good thing; it means they're not blocked.
An IV cannula should be changed out if there are signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or discharge at the insertion site. It should also be replaced if there is a change in the patency of the line, such as difficulty flushing or blood return. Additionally, routine changes are often recommended every 72 to 96 hours, depending on the facility's protocol and the type of cannula used. Regular assessment and adherence to best practices are essential to minimize complications.
It's what you assess for in relation to an IV site, to determine whether or not it is placed properly or if there is any infection or infiltration (meaning fluid has leaked into the surrounding tissue). SPEND S = swelling P = pain E = erythema (redness) N = non-patency (does it flush?) D = discharge
