Here's an argument that has come up in my system lately.....you are transporting a patient who is stable and "may" need an IV later, however they don't necessarily need one right now....do you start the IV during transport, or do you save it for the hospital. Is there anything wrong with starting on IV on all of your transports if there is any indication that they may need an IV later? Or should we be thinking that if we don't need the IV right now don't start it?
We all know that there are those patients that OBVIOUSLY need the IV, this is more geared towards that boarder line of needing an IV or not.
