Air Exchanges
IVPB (piggy back)
a small-volume parenteral infusion (50 ml, 100 ml, 250 ml) containing medications attached to a primary IVP IV solution
a chemical agent such as sterile 70% IPA used on inanimate surfaces and objects to destroy fungi, viruses, and bacteria, but not necessarily their spores
Disinfectant
Positive Pressure
air is being blown into a room and therefore it has higher pressure than the adjacent spaces so the net airflow is out of the area
funneling of a liquid or gas through filters, or mesh screens with minute holes too small for biological and chemical contaminants to pass through
Filtration
the absence of pathogenic microorganisms
Asepsis
LVP (Large Volume Parenteral)
IV solutions of more than 250 mL that may contain medications, nutrients, or electrolytes
process of boiling a liquid and capturing the condensed gases or vapor back into a purified liquid form
Distillation
Positive Pressure
air is being blown into a room and therefore it has higher pressure than the adjacent spaces so the net airflow is out of the area
a device used to filter over 99% of particulate matter from the air to establish an aseptic environment in which to prepare CSPs
HEPA
a device that generates heat and pressure to sterilize objects, instruments, and measures vessels
Autoclave
Macrodrip IV Tubing
IV tubing sets that have a smaller diameter and provide smaller drops and more drops per Ml, such as 60 gtts/ml, used for pediatric patients and others who need more gradual dosing
the small, open space just below the spike adaptor where the drops of fluid from the IV bag into the tubing are counted by the nurse to determine the flow rate of the IV solution
Drip chamber
Primary Tubing
IV tubing that is attached to the primary IV bag of solution
also known as a laminar hood, a PEC to prepare IV drug admixtures, nutrition solutions, and other parenteral products aseptically
Horizontal Laminar Air Flow Workbench
an ISO Class 7 or cleaner area where the PECs are physically located; also called the IV or cleanroom
Buffer room
Microdrip IV Tubing
IV tubing sets that have a sufficient diameter to deliver 10, 15, 20 per Ml used for adult patients
the number of drops that an IV tubing delivers to provide 1 m: this number may be used by nurses to calculate the IV flow rate when using certain types of primary IV tubing; also called drop set or drip set
Drop factor
Sepsis
when an infection is so threatening to the body that the immune system begins to attack the body's own blood vessels and organs causing inflammation, leaky vessels, organ failure, and septic shock
a connector on the IV tubing which allows the injection of IV fluid or medication other than that in the current IV bag to be infused into the patient's vein
Injection Port
the part of the syringe and/or needle that is at risk for contamination by touch or airflow interruption
Critical Site
Phlebitis
an inflammation of the vein from the administration of drugs
a regional widespread contagious disease
Epidemic
Super bugs
bacteria that are resistant to antibiotic therapies
a device used in the IV line to remove contaminants such as glass, fibers, bits of rubber, and bacteria from IV fluids
In-Line Filter - ISO IV administration set
