Description
This programme will educate participants in the administration of fluids by the subcutaneous route. It will cover topics such as accountability, indications for subcutaneous infusion, suitable sites and identification of fluids most commonly used. Calculation of the rate of infusion, the principles of an aseptic technique and complications which could occur before, during or after the procedure will be explored.
While this programme will provide the necessary knowledge and skills to undertake subcutaneous administration of fluids, it will be necessary for each nurse and midwife attending to ensure that they abide by their local policy on subcutaneous administration of fluids in their place of work and have a Management of Anaphylaxis certification(within the last 2 years)
