Today in my EMT-I class, our instructor (who is so awesome) kept saying I.N.T Cap when we were going over IV's. I asked her after she was done talking about this what INT CAP means, however she didnt know:p. Do any of you know what it means? I've googled the heck out of this, to no avail. Thanks. I would enjoy telling my teacher what it means first LOL!

It means your instructor shouldn't be mentioning stuff she doesn't know.

It is a needless port that goes on the IV cath, if you do not need a bag hanging. Some places use extensions, others use an INT. it is also called a PRN.

I do agree that your instructor should not be lecturing on things that she has no clue about!

+1 we use these and they are very nice to have, they're great to gain iv access without having to hang fluid for no reason.

Remember, there is a difference between saline locks and heparin locks. As the solution within them are totally different!

Although the same action per say, they are NOT the same!
