Nurses often prime IV lines with the hopes that there are no air bubbles. In this video, I will share a couple of tips to help reduce the risk or frequency of air bubbles during line priming. I will also talk about how to troubleshoot the air bubbles when they appear during an infusion

Providing patient care and influencing safe patient outcomes requires that registered nurses and licensed practice nurses maintain air free IV lines. Learn the strategies and tips to decrease the risk of air bubbles appearing in your primary or secondary medication line as well as troubleshooting tips to remove those alarming bubbles. Your patients will thank you!

Whether you are providing normal saline, a medication, or a combination, ensure that all fluids are compatible.

Supplies used in this video include the Alaris Primary Infusion line, alcohol swabs and a sterile 10 cc syringe ... and a nail in the wall :)

The nail in the wall cracked me up. Nurses are very resourceful. We are very creative. I like it.

I'm a new grad and took a leap and began in CCU. I'm the first and only mew grad nurse there and this always happens. One more skill to help me feel more confident around all the more experienced nurses. Thank you!

I'm starting at home saline infusions and my training nurse never explained how to remove the bubbles. Thank you! I feel much more confident now

[viviancolongarcia]

Very informative and educational! Very easy to understand. As a brand new nurse this was VERY helpful. THANKS!

Very timely video for me, had rough time yesterday trying to get rid of bubbles in my IV. Thank you Tammy.

Aha! Clamp below! I got shown this trick in my preceptor but then didn't use my IV skills for over a year after I got my RN license so I forgot how to do it! I've been working in the hospital for 3 months now though and this will come in super handy. Thanks Tammy!

I got bubbles in my IV line and my arm hurt. It was swollen. The nurse used saline flushes to pull bubbles out. As she did it my arm felt better. Nurses Rock !!

[annaelagina]

So educational. Thank you. Had so much trouble with Vancomycin bubbles in line. Took a lot of time and frustration.

[jenanjuice]

Thank you! No one ever showed me how to remove them:( I’ve had a couple of annoying days lol. This will help

[jennafrantz]

Thank you so much for this video. Extremely helpful! I’m watching as a medical student — sometimes, in places that are extremely short-staffed in nurses, us medical students/doctors are expected to do nursing duties, but we of course have zero training in nursing 😬 thank you so much for providing this great resource so we can learn how to do things properly for the well-being of our patients!

[ThePinkdivaprincess]

Thank you so much for this my Dad is starting infusion therapy at home and I am So Worried about these Bubbles!! U are now saved in my phone!! ❤❤❤

[nancasa]

This was great! I graduate with my BSN in 6 months and I', still learning stuff I feel they should have taught early on.

[natashak]

Thank you so much for doing this! I have a lot of experience with my past port and current port care, but farely new to doing sodium chloride gravity bag infusions three times a week for my complicated health. Air bubbles sure can be the devil. I'm doing an infusion at home tomorrow morning and will use the tips you gave along with what I was taught. Thank you!

[scubatravel]

Great tips! I'm a baby nurse (as in New nurse lol not OB) And your videos have been a lot of help

[charlieclark]

As an undergrad nursing student working as a CNA, you are the BEST! Thank

[makella]

Thanks so much for this tips. It takes me some good minutes to get air bubbles out of iv lines by disconnecting line from PT, taking the whole line out of the pump and run it out, then reinsert and connect it back to PT.🤣😅😭. I wish I have found this video sooner. Thanks so much.

This was helpful as I’m giving my husband iv meds at home. Thank you b
