Peripheral IV Insertion: Insertion Procedure

[@marcush8268]

For anyone watching in future. remove the tourniquet and apply pressure to the end of the cathether before connecting the hub. If you leave the tourniquet on like they do here at 9:55, blood will pour out and make a huge mess

Per facility policy indeed. In our area, PCT's can NOT do IV cannulation unfortunately.

[@bernadethsomer7207]

really! PCT can cannulate?

[@JR-oe6dw]

I was told back in the day, PCTs were allowed to.

[@nursingeducation3952]

it's based on the policy of your facility. legally, it is not required to be a licensed practitioner to cannulate. My facility previously did not allow PCT's to take this role, but that changed a few years ago, and a substantial push of education was undertaken to train all the techs to access veins.
