In the 5th edition of their Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice, published in January 2016, INS highlights the benefits of using near-infrared (NIR) vein visualization for making more informed decisions in short peripheral catheter placement. INS cites two studies showing improvement in first-attempt success for peripheral catheter placement, both VeinViewer studies. The INS 2016 Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice states that clinicians should: “Consider the use of near-infrared (NIR) light technology to aid in locating viable superficial venous sites and decreasing procedure time for peripheral catheter insertion.” “Consider NIR light technology to identify peripheral venous sites and facilitate more informed decisions about vein selection (i.e., bifurcating veins, tortuosity of veins, palpable but non-visible veins).” BrightStar Care is a leader in home care in Boulder County, Broomfield County, Adams County, Jefferson County, and Weld County.
