Performing peripheral intravenous insertion requires knowledge of 1) the anatomy and physiology of the venous system, 2) the variables that make a patient the right candidate for peripheral access, 3) and common devices used for achieving access for apheresis. Learn more in 25 minutes.

Once you’ve determined your patient is a candidate for peripheral venous access, you will then need to prepare both the patient and the access site for the procedure, and then insert the access device. In this 15-minute training module, we walk you through the steps for successful peripheral access.

It’s important to be aware of potential complications that can occur during the process of gaining peripheral venous access. In 15 minutes, you will learn about common complications, such as infiltration, and effective ways to lower the risk of this complication and others.

There are many techniques for successfully establishing peripheral venous access for therapeutic apheresis, including ultrasound guidance. This 25-minute training module, will show you techniques for using ultrasound for more precise and lower-risk peripheral venous access.

In just 15 minutes, you will learn about the venous system, review peripheral access devices, and better understand vein selection and considerations when performing a venipuncture. Additionally, you will review optimization of venous access, troubleshooting and resources for further learning.
