BD Infusate Companion

When selecting a vascular access device, are you considering both the infusates and the potential infusion complications? Thrombosis, thrombophlebitis, phlebitis, necrosis following extravasation of a vesicant drug, and pain/redness during infusion may be potential complications. The BD Infusate Consideration Companion (ICC) may help you identify medications that are non-peripherally compatible. Consideration of peripheral vein preservation and minimizing harm should be a factor in device selection. Selecting the appropriate device for a patient is a critical part of a clinician’s job.
