5. IV Hooks
PROPER PLACEMENT
During patient ambulation the height of
the IV hooks should be lowered enough
to provide a clear field of vision, typically
below chin level (see Photo 20).
ROTATING IV HOOKS AWAY FROM PATIENT
The IV hook assembly of the IVEA consists
of four hooks: two on shorter arms and
two on longer arms. Compress the two
hook rotation buttons just below the hook
assembly to spin the hooks 180 degrees
(see Photos 21 and 22).
NOTE: During ambulation the two hooks
on longer arms should face outward, at
approximately the ten o' c lock and two
o' c lock positions (see Photo 23). This
configuration provides the optimal position
for hanging the IV bags and prevents the
bags from colliding with the handles when
the hooks are in their lowest position.
