Clinical Simulation
IV Insertion and Removal
About This Course
What you'll experience
Clark, a 51-year-old male, requires an IV insertion as a pre-operative measure. As a nurse, your job is to place the IV correctly and as painlessly as possible. You will also have to remove the IV at the end of the treatment, or when directed by the attending physician. Insertion of an IV cannula and its removal is a very common procedure that every nursing professional performs on multiple occasions. This VR session on IV insertion and removal provides learners practice in the skill to help them perform it smoothly and with confidence.
Learning Objectives
- Explain IV insertion procedure to a virtual patient
- Demonstrate assessing patient’s veins for IV insertion
- Demonstrate successful insertion and securing of IV catheter using industry standards
- Demonstrate removal of IV catheter using industry standards
- Explain aftercare instructions to patient

Core Skill
Patient Preparation
A well-planned preparation is followed by a smooth procedure. This is one of the key stages to ensure the preparedness of the healthcare professional as well as the patient. This module involves steps like confirming the patient’s identity and selecting the appropriate vein for insertion. The session is enhanced with adequate affordances, realistic environments and a responding virtual patient.
