Easier IV Placement

[@nickosgood4591]

As a paramedic this technique has really helped me ensure I hit nearly all my cannulations. Works fantastically on any vein. I now routinely teach this to our students with great results.

[@hammypie]

Nick Osgood - wow that’s amazing! So once u see flash then how much do u have to lift before advancing again? As much as the guy did in the video or can it be less? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@nickosgood4591]

@@hammypie i lift it a fair amount, it doesn't seem to cause any extra pain and I've even had patients state that I'm a 'light touch'. Often I'm cannulating very sick people, or cardiac arrests, so i really don't want to miss!

[@nickosgood4591]

@Omar Alnemer that's how I used to to do it. Now I just go in at the most horizontal angle I can, get flash, lift and progress without flattening out. If it can work with. 22g on a 2 year old kicking off with a hypo it can work with anyone!

[@GarthThomson]

Some good points. We should be mindful that the tourniquet isn't too tight (it must allow venous filling via arterial flow) this is especially important if BP is low, skin is fragile, etc. Rubbing or gently tapping a vein is effective and far less painful than slapping them on the back of the hand like a naughty toddler. There is often a good vein to be found between the middle and ring fingers, proximal to the knuckle. Once you've wiped the area with the alcohol or IV swab, no more touching or tapping the area with anything (but the cannula). If cannulating into the back of the hand, come a little more proximal than demonstrated here. You need to consider the length of the cannula cap and where it with end up after cannulation. As you can imagine, if the cap protrudes past the knuckle there is a greater likelihood of it being dislodged. If the vein bifurcates, aiming between the branches helps. Don't surprise the patient, especially a nervous one. Talk to them confidently, win them over with reassurance and warn them e.g. "This part doesn't hurt I'm just cleaning the area and looking for a good vein". "OK, just a moment or two of pain now, I'll be quick, don't flinch or it'll take longer", etc. Acknowledge their pain afterward. with a "Well done, you did well". Secure that cannula like the precious resource it is. You don't want to do it again! Learn from others & be confident. Good luck!

[@Summerical242]

I'm not even a medecine student but this was pretty interesting Merci!

[@ChickentNug]

It's probably pretty much the same thing, but the way I'm being taught is to insert the needle at around 30 degrees, advance until you get a flash, lower the angle, advance the needle 1/8", and then advance the catheter. So rather than lift up on the entire needle and putting tension on the tissue, I just decrease how aggressive the angle is and point more inline with the path of the blood vessel (not completely level, but more shallow). I've just started with my training, but so far it's worked pretty well. I think it would probably create a little less stress for an anxious patient too since you wouldn't be bending the needle and tenting the skin like with this method. It might not be painful, but you can feel when tension is created (even when you aren't looking at the injection), and I could see that bothering someone who is already fairly nervous about getting an IV

[@marisola03]

Did this help you??? I just started doing them and I suck at them

[@janedoe3735]

Marisol Alonso Yes it helped because I often had the problem that I hit the vein and there was blood coming back but most of the time I couldn't push the plastic part forward (sry for the missing vocabulary, non native speaker). Either it didn't go forward at all and I hurt the patient or a hematoma formed or it did go in, but the place got swollen when I tried to inject sodium chloride. That was like 80% of my tries. I thought it would get better with more practise but I wasn't really able to get an error feedback, I didn't know, what exactly I was doing wrong or needed to change. After watching this video I realized that I was too careful not to penetrate the back wall of the vein so that most of the time the plastic part wasn't placed inside of it at all when I tried to push forward. With that technique, I don't have to be as careful and can give the needle a good push before I shove the plastic part. Since then, all cannulations were successful. I also tried to pull the skin under the cannulation spot down to fix the vein when inserting the needle and I started to punch the vein an few times with my fingertips to relax the muscles. This might have helped, too. I don't pull the skin up as high as in the video, though. It still looks scary to me^^

[@mariellexx8]

JaneDoe OMG, everything you just said summed up the reasons why my IVs fail! I always get flash but then end up blowing the vein, and I never know what I’m doing wrong. Seriously this video is a blessing. I’m gonna start trying it and see how it goes! Hopefully I successfully start an IV soon :)

IV team member here. One suggestion, I know this IV is to be used for short term use, I would still not occlude the cannula with my thumb. The thumb just contaminated the site that will be under the dressing near the opening in the skin. If it were to be used for a longer term, that dressing may not be changed for a few days. I suggest pulling the needle back half way after the cannula is advanced. Then pop the tourniquet. Slide the gauze (as you did) under the hub. Remove the needle and quickly attach the tubing or syringe. 40+ years experience here.
