This Vein is Going to Roll... Nurse IV Insertion Tips

When you see a patient with large, visible veins, you might think to yourself, "This is going to be an easy stick!" However, you have to watch for rolling veins on patients like this.
To stabilize the vein before starting an IV, have the patient make a tight fist, and then gently pull down on the skin below the IV insertion point. That will help stabilize it so much more.

As a phlebotomist for 8 years, don’t forget to really anchor the vein a lot of the times you can do a simple one and done if you anchor hard enough, the patient isn’t gonna feel it. If you’re sticking an unconscious patient for whatever reason, hit the vein by the intersection, and anchor right below your site and pull the skin down to the knuckle. You’ll get it every time. 👍🏽

[@whatsthechannelnamex]

You are one billion percent right! I had over 300 needle sticks in my left arm. I had severe PIH, severe Preeclampsia and severe HELLP. That was in 2009 and to this day I have them rolling. Just all the sudden it feels like a worm crawling up my arm. I had to go to the ER 3 years ago due to having a stomach issue and the nurse couldn't get the IV in. She tried for 45 minutes. I was in AGONY. Finally I told her to get someone else so a guy came in and I told him I have rolling veins with scar tissue. He showed her and I watched, in the bend he pushed in and down and the IV went right in. No pain no rolling. He said it controls it from rolling. I've even had them try to get blood out of the top of my feet in 2009 but I was so swollen they couldn't get to a vein or even see one. They tried on the inside of my ankle. I screamed in the pillow it hurt so bad. Next time I was a PICC line. You are correct and I hope others apply it❤

As an 80 year old, I’ve had lots of blood drawn. Phlebotomists do it one, two three. Almost no pain. They are wonderful. People in doctor’s offices, not so much. And, when I hear anyone say you have rolling veins, I know they are not expert at their jobs, and probably have not been trained well.

My lecturer jokingly called that "dancing veins". Shout out to her. It's a lame joke but an effective ice breaker between me and the patient.

[@ItsAsparageese]

Hell yeah. Lame jokes are the all time best icebreakers, and IMO the best "I need to fill silence with this patient for a second so things aren't weird, but I need focused on this work and devote as few neurons as possible to talking, without saying anything dumb and occasionally being informative" automated babble to have on deck. I LOVE it when client education can get all neatly bundled in with memorably lame jokes and the occasional clunky-but-fun mixed metaphor. And even off-topic clean pun one-liners are great for helping any patient be just a little more present and engaged and awake at any given time.

The technique of anchoring and pulling skin taut before puncture is good practice regardless as it decreases the friction between needle and skin. Reduced friction allows the sharpness of the needle to pierce cleanly resulting in less overall pain.

[@Sol-Cutta]

My veins are flatners. They look ideal until the nurse pushes the needle in, the vein immediately flattens and she is unable to get stable location...much worse than rolling because there is no way to stabilise them. This is apparent in all my near surface veins. As I've been told the only way they can do it is to use a baby infrasound (?) And this can detect deeper veins which can be accessed.. a downer tho because if I need blood test I have to go to hospital

Just tell tell them how to do it and mention your veins roll before they stick you. They'll be understanding.

[@brendantoomey8475]

Phlebotomist and dialysis PCT here. This is 100% true and also, information that you usually find through experience and not instruction as good as this :)

[@susankenney7536]

I have done this many times. I was a medical assistant for 32 years

[@adjappleton]

My patient yesterday didnt roll and veins were easy to see and feel. 2x fail. Asked a co-worker, she failes 2x as well. Doc said ok to no more pokes and moved to oral meds 🙂

[@evilsharkey8954]

Were they dehydrated? My veins are dodgier when I’m dehydrated.

[@geegirl15]

I used to draw a lot of geriatric patients and there's a lot of times whenever the vein looks great and you can see it perfectly fine and it's still not draw right. Or at all. It's not necessarily our fault, it's just a weird thing that happens

[@emilyscloset2648]

[@erikamyers8797]

If there’s any chance they’d been or are IV drug user, no matter where they’d shoot up, all their vein walls become almost concrete over time

[@jeffkeeth6380]

As a nurse manager IV TEAM, you two need a refresher. If you see & feel the veins there's no reason to miss 4 times. Poor technique. Hold the vein down, don't use tourniquet, etc.

[@JOXGIRL1]

Genius. I learned something new after 20 years of nursing. Thank you.

KZbin is literally a great teacher for everything

Waww!

Hopefully it stays free forever 🥹

GREAT TIP‼️🫶🏾🫶🏾

“He’s mine to be poked” Me: well guess I better start counting

[@sarahgriffin2629]

In my phlebotomy class my instructor literally said “there is no such thing as a rolling vein” BECAUSE if it rolls, you aren’t anchoring properly!!! Thank you for showing how to anchor!

I don’t know much about the medical field… but that accent lets me know I can trust every word that comes out of her mouth

[@sabaraheel6031]

Excellent job

[@mundusvultdecepi1599]

Always good to see someone that actually cares about their craft.

"and he is mine to be poked" holddd on nowwww

He is stable aaaaised💫🫠

[@andrewrodriguez1490]

I’m now certified to be a nurse this was a lot easier than I thought

[@zarimashadi]

Wow is perfect veins thank you but not every one have such veins than what we do I’ll be grateful ❤

[@liledw13]

You are a pro! I have rolling veins myself.. and it really sucks getting butchered by an inexperienced nurse or doc.

[@braves9652]

Same. The overconfident tech is a nightmare. They don't listen if you try to warn them, and they get that shocked look on their face when they ALWAYS blow my only good vein.

[@osteomalacia2233]

"He's mine to be poked." Wise words. Love the videos btw. Medtech here.

[@zaidmuhammad862]

osteomalakia 👏👏

[@liviab7940]

I have very thin veins. I had a health problem when 3 or 4 nurses sticked me and made all my veins (happened in several days) and my butt purple. After a week another nurse did all that and find all the veins from first try, without me feeling the needles, thow my skin was swelled and brown-purple. I don't begrudge the nurses who couldn't handle my veins. But that nurse I'll never forget and I'll always love her! She was a dressing for the trauma I was going through because I was afraid of needles and sick of any kind of pain. ❤

[@tamer1737]

I thought everyone knew this trick lol. Make a fist and pull down the skin sort of anchors the vein and it doesn’t move. My go to technique

[@allysonbeaty1527]

As a current EMT student, this will definitely help when I start my paramedic program!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@del8548]

I have really thin veins just like mother. So whenever i got sick and need an IV it would be a hard time finding it for the nurse AND IT WOULD BLEED and then my skin turned blue because it bruises up. But surprisingly it doesn't hurt that much

[@brandonrepo4]

I have rolling vein. I tought i was freak until i learned im not the only one

[@cdfranklin1599]

I always have to warn anyone taking my blood that I have a connective tissue disorder. My veins look great, but they're weak and they roll. I've had so may Phlebotomists roll their eyes and be like, "yeah ok, I've been doing this for 20 years" then I look down and blood is pouring down my arm or I get a massive bruise from a blown vein. They freak and apologize and I'm just like "its fine. It happens." My veins are even bigger and more movable than this guys. I get blood drawn constantly due to health issues.

[@oliviacaron7088]

I have elhers danlos so I feel your pain! They never listen haha

[@ReyOfLight]

I have a connective tissue disorder as well, and anytime I need to have an IV or blood drawn (both are rare for me fortunately) the nurse have to follow my instructions or it will fail XD I literally have one spot in my left arm that is suitable for blood draws, and two spots on my left hand suitable for IV’s (one being at the base of my thumb) Many have asked to look at my right arm and I tell them it’s no point because they won’t find anything, they look anyways and might as well try to draw blood from a scarecrow if they do try to poke me there. Some also say that my right hand looks good for IV’s but looks are deceiving there as IV’s in my right hand always fail very fast and always hurt a lot so there’s just no point in even trying it. Last time I had an IV in my right hand it failed in less than a day and I was sore for months afterwards. IV’s in left hand/thumb base can last 2-3 days and causes no pain

[@amberdavis5311]

Same with my dude. He said they always end up using a 🦋

[@ab-gail]

🙏

[@susietinsley5257]

THANK YOU!!!! I've told every phlebotomist that my veins roll. They usually roll their eyes back at me. And I usually get the pin cushion award & blown out veins all over my arms & hands. I end up wearing long sleeves for a week or so covering every stick attempt. I've actually had peeps ask me if I'm a junkie! I'm going to show this video to every "Dracula" that pokes me in the future!!! I really appreciate this vid!🎉😂💝

[@hikerguy3895]

You’ll just get a bigger needle

[@BorderlineFaith]

Ugh same! And when they dig chasing it while the needle is in there. I almost knocked this nurse tf out 😢

[@fluffytail6355]

Weird. I’ve never had a phlebotomist ignore me when I’ve told them about my rolling veins.

[@questions3983]

I had patients tell me they have tiny veins and need the smallest needles, but when I look, the veins are as big as my fingers. 😂 As far as rolling goes, can't help them all, but you can just try and pin that vein down as much as you can.

[@aaas6348]

Gorgeous vein 😍

[@graceshafiani3889]

Thanks for sharing. I'll be sure to show the nurse next time.

[@IolcanPK]

"They look beautiful, I wanna stick in this an IV"... That sounded way dirtier that I expected 😂
