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.
Is iv swelling at site okay?
Possibly an indicator of an infected IV site -- or that the IV either missed or pierced through the vein and the injectant was accidentally delivered at least partially subcutaneously instead of IV. If the site is red and hot to the touch I'd lean towards infected site, and act smartly. IV site infections can travel into the bloodstream. A cool bulge (at first), possibly with localized hematoma is indictative of a "miss". This may or may not require treatment depending on what was injected (tetracycline will sclerose at the injection site; normal saline will harmlessly absorb, for instance). In any case, move to another IV site with this patient. Also, if this is a SubQ "miss", note that the patient likely did not receive the proper dosage of whatever you were trying to inject.

What happens when IV comes out of site and goes interstitial?
When an IV infiltrates and the fluid leaks into the interstitial space instead of remaining in the bloodstream, it can cause swelling, pain, and discomfort at the site. This condition, known as infiltration, may lead to tissue damage if the fluid is irritating or if the infiltration is extensive. Monitoring the site for signs of infiltration and promptly addressing it by stopping the IV and applying appropriate treatment is essential to prevent complications. In some cases, the IV may need to be relocated to ensure proper administration of fluids or medications.
