A ( non vesicant, vesicant ) solution is a drug/fluid which may cause irritation to surrounding tissue through to necrosis of the tissue.

Only 2 attempts to cannulate are recommended.

IV access is an ( invasive, uncomfortable, painful, embarrassing ) procedure, therefore appropriate consideration must be given to its requirement in the pre-hospital setting.
