Safety Guidelines for IV Therapy

Ensuring Safe and Effective Care During Infusion Treatments

At Astral Drips, patient safety is our top priority. We follow strict protocols to ensure every IV therapy session is safe, comfortable, and effective.

1. Pre-Treatment Screening

  • Every patient undergoes a thorough medical history review and health assessment.

  • Screening includes checking for allergies, current medications, and underlying conditions to ensure suitability for IV therapy.

2. Aseptic Technique

  • Healthcare professionals maintain strict aseptic techniques during catheter insertion, infusion setup, and equipment handling.

  • Hand hygiene is performed before and after every procedure.

3. Experienced Professionals

  • All IV therapy sessions are administered by certified medical professionals, including registered nurses or trained practitioners.

  • Staff are trained to handle complications like infiltration or allergic reactions.

4. Monitoring During Infusion

  • Patients’ vital signs (e.g., blood pressure, pulse) are monitored before, during, and after treatment.

  • Continuous observation ensures early detection of adverse reactions.

5. Sterile Equipment

  • All IV bags, tubing, and catheters are checked for expiration dates, leaks, or contamination before use.

  • Equipment is replaced immediately if sterility is compromised.

6. Site Assessment

  • The IV site is inspected regularly for signs of redness, swelling, or irritation.

  • If any abnormality is detected (e.g., pain or leakage), infusion is stopped immediately.

7. Post-Treatment Care

  • Patients receive post-treatment instructions to ensure proper hydration and recovery.

  • Follow-up care is provided if required.
