Try using hair clips to hold the fluid line in place when giving subcutaneous fluids to a patient.
I use small hair clips to hold the fluid line in place when giving subcutaneous fluids to a patient. The clips help keep the needle from slipping out and allow me to use less restraint because the line is clipped to the haircoat. Everyone involved is more comfortable.
