I.V. Therapy and Liability Issues, Deborah Buchanan, RN, MS, CLNC, Medical/Legal Consultants of Colorado:"There are many potential complications associated with the use of intravenous therapy. These include damage to the nerves, either by the actual needle stick or by compression caused by infiltrated I.V. fluid, phlebitis, nosocomial infection, allergic reaction to the indwelling cannula, air embolisms, speed shock, a severed catheter, and circulatory overload. While this may seem like a daunting list, most law suites arise from just two of these complications: infiltration of I.V. fluids and phlebitis. These are two complications that most juries feel are preventable."
