Abstract
First, do no harm” is the ethical imperative for every patient safety effort. Peripheral intravenous cannulation (PIVC) is a minor procedure but it has the potential to introduce infection into the local tissue at site of cannulation or directly into the blood stream and can cause serious complications. It is painful and distressing procedure for patients, and is traditionally carried out by medical personnel. Our aim is to develop an IV safety Nurses team to provide high quality; evidence based intravenous therapy to patients. A team of 10 registered staff nurses trained into IV safety certification programme according to CDC and WHO benchmarks. It led to outcomes such as 100% cannulation by IV safety nursing team, 1st Prick success rate-100%, number of calls received by anesthetists: Nil, Patient Satisfaction 4.68 to 4.93 on the scale of 5, reduced pain, decline in IV complications. This project resulted in building up of competency and development of a specialized team in Nursing “IV Safety Nursing Team”. It won FICCI Heal 2014 award and Six Sigma best project award 2015 among all Apollo group of hospitals. It has been continuously making a difference in our patients‟ experience and lives.
