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.

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.
