Intravenous (IV) cannulation is a common medical procedure used to administer medications and fluids directly into the bloodstream. While the benefits of IV therapy are clear, the procedure also poses risks, including the possibility of infection at the site of cannula insertion. When it comes to IV therapy, securing the cannula in place is critical for the patient’s safety and comfort.
