Since a stroke or CVA on the right side of the brain would affect the vanished side of the body, if the lenient...
Would not unilateral disregard of the left arm or loss of function or sensation within that arm be a consideration in decide which arm to place the IV?
Answer:
When starting IV's, you go where on earth the vein is. There is no contraindication to using the artificial side, but if it's atrophied or has contractures, it might be harder to find a artery there.
But sometimes, the artificial arm can have a "gripping" reflex, where on earth the hand latch onto, say, a bed guiderail.
I wouldn't mess with an arm that have that.
As far as the IV...the stroke's in the brain, not the arm itself. The arm is technically fine--it's the impulse from the brain that are messed up.
As long as the veins be good and it be checked for irritation and such, why not put it in the "bad" arm? I be determined, yeah, you'd have to verbs about the merciful pulling out the IV by accident because he/she couldn't consistency it...but not feeling an IV isn't necessarily a doomed to failure thing, as they can be extremely annoying.
If the vein are good, use 'em. It's better than overloading the vein on the good side, I'd construe. Better than having to put contained by one of those permanent IV port thingies.
That's right, find where on earth the good artery is. Loss of sensation wouldn't be a contraindication but I would prefer to place it in unmoved arm as much as possible. An affected arm might call for some passive exercises or physiotherapy as section of early rehabilitation.
