Unit Specific Procedures and Protocols: (For example: Drips; Infusions; Phlebotomy; Starting IVs; EKGs; Transports; Weaning; Nebulizer to Inhaler; Starting IVs, performing venipuncture, Performing EKGs; Discontinuing sheaths) RN s start IV s and will draw labs off of central lines. Lab techs will draw morning labs for patients that don t have lines. EKG is completed by the PCT or the RN. Sheaths are only pulled in ICU and Cath lab at this time but we do groin site management and TR band deflations/monitoring. Transport can be tricky. If patient is not on drips and we have transport then they can take the patient for tests. Sometimes the RN will have to transport the patient.
