ivWatch is on the move with another stop in the Netherlands. We are inspired by the ideas, passion, and commitment to improving patient safety and outcomes. We need more advocates like UMC Utrecht to make an impact and pave the future in safer IV therapy.
Frightening Trend Alert: More caustic drugs are being delivered through peripheral IVs. You cannot see 0.2 mLs of fluid under the tissue, but ivWatch continuous monitoring will pick up the smallest amounts of optically clear fluid in the surrounding tissue.
CEO Gary Warren spoke with the Peninsula Chronicle on the global extravasation crisis, how ivWatch was founded, and the company's expansion plans into the United Kingdom and beyond. Learn more about the underreported IV infiltration problem: https://t.co/YYMlW5EI8W

Intubated, scared, non-verbal, never received an IV, overwhelmed. These are just some of the reasons for an extra set of eyes and a call for better IV safety standards. #IVsafety
Your staff can’t even imagine going into work the next day after this IV extravasation happened to their patient. It’s time for better IV safety standards that are obtainable. Stop setting your staff up for failure.
The nurse took two hours to place the IV and it still went bad. A bad IV is a bad IV. You can be your child’s voice. Be vigilant and look for signs of an IV going bad.

This is preposterous behavior, and the scary part is, we hear this all too often. We must take a stand on reckless attitudes and care that violate the principle of "first do no harm." Apathy has no place in patient care. Join our movement for better IV safety procedures.

Clinicians are increasingly named in extravasation lawsuits. It’s time to stop nickel-and-diming your IV safety initiatives and put technology in place that helps your burned-out clinical staff. The blame game ends here. Learn more: https://t.co/5l1CYWJTsM
The battle begins with accurate reporting and record keeping, which is currently broken in the healthcare system.

This picture is the reason for constant IV checks. Even small amounts of IV fluid leaking outside the vein cause serious harm. IVs should be checked regularly – even in the middle of the night.
