Clinical Simulation
IV Infiltration
About This Course
What you'll experience
As a nurse working in the pediatric department you are required to place an IV in a five-month old baby boy. IV insertions in infants can be difficult and may lead to complications like infiltration and extravasation, calling for great care and expertise while performing the insertion. In this VR simulation, learners practice in realistic scenarios to perform an insertion and take necessary steps required to address a PIV extravasation.
Learning Objectives
- Demonstrating the steps of PIV assessment using the acronym ACT
- Modelling the use of vein finding technology
- Demonstrate performing PIV insertion and securement
- Demonstrating the steps required to address PIV extravasation
- Demonstrating steps of PIV assessment using vein finding technology

Core Skills Training
Core Skill
Vein Selection and Preparation
While selecting a vein for insertion, it is worthwhile to take into consideration factors like the length of time the IV would be required and the position of the vein. In case of children the forearm region of the non-dominant hand is preferable as it allows the freedom to use hands for writing, playing, etc.
In this module, learners will practice conversing with the patient, using a vein finder to locate a suitable vein for insertion and identifying the insertion site. Appropriate affordances and detailed instructions are provided all along for a smooth practice session.

Physics-Based InteractionHow it works
Training
With prompts, guidance and affordances learners are hand-held through the process to practice the procedure in a virtual environment with a virtual patient.
- Photorealistic virtual environment
- Physics-based interactions
- Detailed instructions
- Adequate affordances to assist in task completion
Measure progress
Assessment
Test acquired skills to perform the procedures from start to finish without prompts. An incorrect step will take the learner back to the start to start afresh.
- Live scoring
- Instant feedback
- Adequate affordances for efficient performance
- Time tracking to monitor activity completion
