IV insertion kit, alcohol, fluid, bandage, tape, order,

  • IV start kit- This kit includes a tourniquet , antiseptic (to clean thepatient’s skin before starting theIV), gauzes, tape, tegaderm, sticker to label the IV with your initials, date, time, and gauge of IVneedle.
  • Extension Tubing or Cap- This will be used to connect to the IV once you have successfully inserted the IV.
  • Normal Saline Flush- This will be used to flush the IV to ensure it is patent and works properly. Saline flushes normally come in pre-filled syringes but if you don’t have the pre-filled syringe you will need a vial of Normal Saline and a syringe (you will have to draw it up yourself).
