In this video we’re going to look at how to hang an IV piggyback, otherwise known as a secondary IV infusion. To do this, you have to have a primary infusion running, so make sure you go back and watch how to spike and prime an IV infusion first!
So once you’ve verified your orders, you’re going to get your IV med bag out of the package if it’s in one.
Then you’ll open the secondary IV tubing package - this is usually much shorter than primary tubing and doesn’t go inside the pump. Then you’ll clamp that tubing once you have it open.

Thank you for making this video...
why wouldn't you back prime?
Hello, thank you very much for all the helpful videos. Could you make a video about the required nursing skills after the blood transfusion reaction ( for example what to do with the iv line step by step if the transfusion reaction happens)?
Close immediately the blood line and take V. S, notify the doctor, and administer antihistamines drug
Always check compatibility! So important bc that med is running through the primary which is going right to the patient.
I think this video needs to be redone with better camera angles.
Most of the video was referencing another video
Where is the primary video that you said in your video? I guess its on the website which you need to be a member
Hi,
Great video. I have a question . When using an IV filter such as supor 0.2 micron filter as an add on filter not integrated, where is it placed?. I found myself using a giving set where the only option to attach was at end of set where catheter tubing is attached. I then attached catheter tubing to filter. All pretty close to insertion site. While I am here on a gravity fed set , using this filter, the max Gtts/min I could achieve was 76 gtts /min. I needed 80. Any advice appreciated.Thank You
Thanks! First view ☺️
on the patient's bed?
How do you know which immediately is a primary and which is a secondary? Do you always hand a med with a fluid?
The tubing package would tell you if a tubing is primary or secondary....and the secondary tubing usually comes with a blue hanger to lower your main iv fluid
how does the drip rate work without the pump
I wish it was a federal mandate to only use alaris pumps in hospitals xD at least the same brand or something.
How I wish the camera was closer to the nurse performing the procedure.
Great suggestion… as we record new videos we’ll pull in tighter with the cam
Not you preparing the supplies on the patient's bed
You don't prime a secondary into the sink
just curious but where would you prime it into then? and also what is the reason for not priming it into the sink?
i thought priming was just to get any air bubbles out of the line so where you actually prime it into doesnt really matter?
@@erich4783 You wouldn't want to prime into the sink because that means you are wasting the medication/antibiotic that is in the secondary bag. They should be back-priming the second bag with the primary bag.
@@katkline2034 THANKYOU
@@katkline2034 Agreed! you should always back-prime from the primary bag
@@cassidymetcalf8007 This is only if the medications are compatible right ?
That was too fast
Should have gloves off on the pump
too short and not detailed enough, lame
