Pure demonstration and zero waffling. Great job!

[@dlo6421]

I am currently in paramedic school and this video is awesome, really helps me see the different techniques that everyone uses.

[@kernow9324]

I was dreading having a cannula inserted in my arm yesterday, but the nurse did it without me even feeling anything! I was aware that she was cleaning the site with a swab and that was that! Im a complete baby when it comes to needles. Bless that nurse, Gina at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth.

[@KatJ3st]

I wish I was that lucky! The anesthetist left a huge bruise on my upper wrist for canula insertion and the same in my arm for the saline drip!!!

[@theorangecandle]

I'm dreading putting my first cannula in a patient....

[@dearsnow]

really? i have a huge fear of needles and im dreading the day i’ll need to have one of these in me.. my apple purchases after this video 📈

[@marieso2293]

Yep, really depends on the person inserting your cannula! My veins are very small, so I already know which specific people in the hospital I frequent are good at cannulation and what their position in the hospital is. The best one I ever got was from a Senior oncology nurse. Barely felt it! He was going to use a big needle but noticed how tiny my veins looked and switched to a smaller one. It was so quick! I owe him my life. I'm so grateful, I'd give him my kidney if he asked. I got way too many bad experiences with cannulation that I make sure to remember the good ones. When I watched this video, I was like "Lies! It is painful!" But then i remembered that oncology nurse and realized maybe i just had poorly skilled people doing my cannulation.

[@marieso2293]

@@KatJ3st Same! Mine was a hospitalist who put it in too deep i think cuz it hurt A LOT. I got a doctor who was recommended by my anesthesiologist to do it (unclear if she's also an anesthesiologist or an experienced resident) She used the same size of needle as the hospitalist. She inserted it twice since the first one wasn't successful and both were not as painful as the hospitalist. I wrote her name down and would specifically ask for her after that. If a doctor can insert a needle in me twice without me being in a lot of pain, that means she got skill. I also think it's also because she showed restraint. When she was unsuccessful, she immediately took the needle out instead of forcing it to work by needling my vein like a sewing project. Needling usually HURTS A LOT. That and blowing a vein.

[@imperiusss]

you guys are really the best on the net hands down! It would be amazing if you guys would do a first aid series for medical students one day. That would be awesome with your clear style. ))

[@geekymedics]

That's a lovely thing to say :) You've made our day!

Watching this trying to get over my fear of having an IV put in. Thank you!

[@Georgieee111]

Hope it helped you because its made me 10x worse i should not of watched 😂

[@karoldanco2753]

It doesnt hurt i just got one

[@zedara5364]

​@@karoldanco2753 well it depends i asked for babys or chiled needle it is yellow color the smallest and thinest, didnt feel the thing. blue is second smallest but it looks scary if you are curios what color u will got if they say red, run run run for your life

[@marieso2293]

@@zedara5364 Seconding this! Sometimes they just use the needle that's in front of them. You, as the patient, can request for a smaller one. The cannulas for surgery typically are bigger but if all you need is hydration and IV meds then a smaller needle is ok. And if you still need surgery, you can actually get the bigger cannula inserted during your surgery with anesthetic and with anesthesiologists who are supposed to be better at inserting a cannula. Plus with a smaller needle, you can get hydration which, if you were dehydrated prior, can make your veins bigger, making bigger needle insertions much easier during your surgery.

[@tandm86]

Those lovely 27 yr old fully hydrated veins. You make it look easy. 🤣

[@ayatmw4453]

I just searched this bc I work in a hospital as a medical interpreter and I keep seeing the procedure so I was curious great demonstration thank you.

[@smileflower17]

ouch that looks painful. thank u james for the sake of this video

[@soyamiIk]

it's actually not, :D just dont look at the needle and it won't be painful

[@baihasnacabilo4587]

very helpful for nursing students like me😇 thank you

[@bakulirahejohn7398]

I appreciate the teaching that it is a sterile procedure

[@JustanamebroDK]

You don't need gloves or a sterile sheet to perform a sterile technique. Non touch technique and keeping the IV in the package until use is fine. The gloves used here aren't even sterile and most find it trickier with gloves.

[@JForJessW]

interesting since your cannula and techniques are so different to what we are taught at uni! good to learn and observe different techniques tho, awesome video :)

[@leisurelittleca]

This video assist me to review the main concepts of intravenous cannula setup. Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@zoenavales7846]

Watching this after I failed so many times with IV insertion😔

[@Jkm_family]

Same here

[@nerdycatpizza9971]

Hello, were u able to do it? I'm a new nurse and struggling with inserting IVs too 😭

[@tusharbaranda8736]

Practice make a man perfect

[@Countryboy071]

I failed my first because I didn't put pre-swab in clinical waste afterwards!! I am only qualified in peripheral IV. I think the most single cause is finding an appropriate vein. I was told do not be afraid of tightening the tourniquet up. Another reason is insertion at a far too acute angle, obviously the median cephalic and basilic veins, due to their location are more prone to this than metatacarpal.

[@adenmohamoud8210]

Is helpful for Medical students Thank you 😊

[@indefat]

Can you do a video which troubleshoots all the cannula related problems? As an intern a problem I faced was after the second blood flash, when you insert the cannula & push saline, it would generally bulge out or there would be resistance. Thanks

[@g-smith4466]

Personally i waited until the blood filled up the entire flashback chamber before i push in the catheter and pulled out the needle simultaneously with one hand.I am not sure how does letting bloodfilling it entirely first helps but I read from somewhere it does and from personal experience.

[@turell1478]

Not in the vein in that case.

[@romz5330]

The cannula must have been inserted into the vein, but perhaps the cannula was further advanced without retracting the needle. The danger in this is that the needle might advance past the vein, hence the initial siting of blood but on pushing the saline a bulge appears along with pain. The cannula has essentially gone into the vein and past it into the surrounding tissue

[@subbareddy156]

It's is very useful to all medical students u did a great job

[@stefaniealisonraymond1804]

OkAY! Great video as always. ^^ Questions?- 1. If.. Per-say... That after we remove the introducer needle.. then suddenly we flush the cannula then there's a bump in the patient vein. Why did that happen? 2. Most appropriate cannulation site for peadeatric patient is where? 3. How many times a nurse can cannulate on the same patient.. per-say if they already failed 2-3 times? Do we change to another nurse or call the doctor?

[@geekymedics]

+Stefanie Alison Hi Stefanie! It's difficult to help with questions 2 and 3, it would be best to follow your own hospital guidelines. However a bump in the vein after flushing a cannula sounds like the cannula might not have gone in properly, meaning it has "tissued". This is where the fluid goes into the extravascular space rather than the vein, and it forms a bump under the skin. In these cases the cannula should be removed and discarded. Hope that helps!

[@stefaniealisonraymond1804]

Thank you. :)

[@DrMohanRanawade]

At 2:21 , the hand holding the introducer is hidden from the video. The crucial step of displaying how to hold on to the Introducer and how to slide the sheath in the vein is missing . I guess every beginner should learn this step and make it a perfect art.

[@user-xy4ff5yp7b]

I have reached the point where I can cannulate successfully, but I often end up making a huge mess with the blood! Any advice for me?

[@hevakins4251]

Haha won't be painful... try putting in a "grey"/ 16g cannula in someone 😂👍😉 I did like this video though! (i like all these videos) - it's a great aid! (skin prep could have been better though) I liked the disclaimer but I think you could have put more detail in with some emphasis on ANTT and "key parts". It was brilliant that you found an actual volunteer... I actually thought you were going to skip to a "dummy" arm but it was brill that you didn't! xx

[@geekymedics]

+Heva Kins Yes indeed, large cannulas can be quite painful, but for a grey cannula the advice would generally be to use local anaesthetic if possible due to the level of discomfort without. Thanks for the feedback regarding ANTT also, we may do a video discussing ANTT in more detail at some point, it's on the list! Hope the video was useful Heva.

I have a cannula in and keep in mind I'm 11 so this might be normal but my bandages are THICK like as if I broke all the bones in my hand is this so I don't pull it out because its covered in bandages and tape.

You should learn to advance the cannula one handed. Makes things a lot easier

[@gopin9503]

Very nice

[@mbbs12131]

why no blood coming out after remove the needle, did u press on the vein?

[@AmY-gm2qs]

He did exactly that. It's routine.

[@kenslay]

He is using what i believe ( looking at the cannula anyway) is a modern cannula from Braun with a passive safety shield, once the needle/ introducer is withdrawn completely it closes preventing flash back of blood, it opens when it comes in contact with a syringe tip or the connector point of an IV line. It helps minimize / eliminates blood loss and also reduces the risk of infection.. Imagine a bicycle valve..
