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.
