The nurse should remove the tourniquet immediately after the intravenous (IV) catheter is successfully inserted and blood return is confirmed, or once the catheter is secured in place.

What is a non tunneled catheter?
A non-tunneled catheter is a type of central venous catheter that is inserted directly into a large vein, typically in the neck, chest, or groin, without creating a subcutaneous tunnel. It is primarily used for short-term access to the bloodstream for administering medications, fluids, or for hemodialysis. Non-tunneled catheters are generally placed in emergency situations or for patients requiring immediate vascular access, but they carry a higher risk of infection compared to tunneled catheters. They are typically removed once they are no longer needed or when the patient is stable.
