They get mad at me sometimes because I absolutely refuse to let them put an IV in my hand. It hurts so much more than any other site and continues to hurt for a long period of time.

The population is getting more overweight every year and those patients are the hardest ones to find their veins.

Simple and straightforward! Great video! Avoid those hands....they hurt! ;)

I am dealing with renal patients and the veins are small, sometimes I can't even find them, I need more practice

I am 14 years old and I have been cannulated dozens of times. I don't like being poked in the arm. the best vein i have is the AC vein. The AC vein has been working really well in my right hand😅. I had my first blood test and cannula about two years ago.

I was expecting a more anatomically accurate explanation for good iv site selection rather than this considering the human body has not changed much in so many years

Tomorrow I will have a surgery and I had to fill out a form about my case history. There was a special question about allergies.... I only got one allergy!

With 42 years of age I have had about 14 IVs in my life and I am allergic against IVs placed in the cubital vene or the back of the hand.

My cephalica just LOVES IVs placed just below the wrist up to the lower half of my forearm. If you get an IV that's the place because it does not interfere with casual activities as you can wrap a loose gauze bandage around it for additional protection.

Putting on a T-shirt, wearing this T-shirt, changing clothes, bending your elbow, working/gaming on a laptop, whatever you do with your hands.... if you don't want any irritations or pain or handicap go for the CEPHALICA!

My anesthesiologist had to laugh when he read it and just nodded towards me. 😂

should tourniquet be removed BEFORE cannulating the IV?

[jermalshemism]

As a patient take your time im sick of assholes blowing my veins out and they hurt for weeks. I bet they never fully recover ever. Im probably gonna die of a blood clot later in life cause of shitty interns
