✅ Bedside Skills
📋 Case-Based Learning
Intravenous cannulation and fluid management are core nursing skills that combine technical precision with careful clinical judgement about what fluid a patient actually needs.
Selecting the wrong fluid type, or missing early signs of a complication such as infiltration or fluid overload, can turn a routine intervention into a genuine patient safety issue.
TerraLeap’s IV Cannulation & Fluid Management course is designed for nurses and nursing students, covering technique, fluid types, and complications.
The course covers correct cannulation technique, understanding common IV fluid types and their indications, and recognising and managing IV-related complications.
Bedside skill, clinical confidence — built for real nursing practice.
