Demonstration and explanation for nurses of how to start an intravenous catheter.

i'm a student nurse who almost faints just looking at an IV so i'm trying to watch as many of these as possible, thank you!

[swflawindlover]

This is the best video I've watched. Not too much talking; just enough info and a demonstration on an actual patient. Thank you!

That was awesome. I liked the fact that there was someone there to receive the IV instead of you just explaining steps on how it's done.

[lailahassouneh]

Wow that lady was filming steadily AND recieving an IV. Shes that real MVP🤣🤣 I would be shaking so hard.

Like butter… Great instructional video

Out of all the IV demo videos on Youtube, this is the one I return to for review.

been a nurse 9 years, never worked for a facility that does subq lidocaine before a PIV start...also I've been taught to look for blood return prior to flushing. Good technique tho! and a great teacher:) 👍🏽

[cartertanya]

Good technique even though I have never seen lidocaine given by injection prior to this procedure. I have only ever seen it used topically for children prior the insertion of an IV.

Best IV insertion video I’ve watched. Thank you!

This is exactly what I was looking for. There are way too many videos that educate the viewer about the process and EVERYTHING surrounding it. I just needed a quick refresher! Thannnnk

GREAT JOB!!!! SIMPLE AND CONCISE!! This helps me a lot because i have to start a peripheral line tomorrow! Thanks again!

[kristinreed]

Thanks for the demo and good explanation on what supplies to get and what to say to your patient so you don't look dumb!  Practice makes perfect and this is helpful to play a few times over!

I'm a nurse. I must say I love the lidocaine before an IV it makes it a breeze. I had it done before a surgery and felt 0 pain. Wish everyone did the lido.

[emarrama]

Awe it was really helpful seeing it done a real person! Thank you both!!

[TowardBliss]

Great video! Thank you. I've been out of hospital setting doing home care for 2 years. I needed a refresher! #nursesrock

This guy was flawless and calm. Me sweating bullets hoping I don’t miss on the first attempt 😓

I am a nurse assistant I Korea South. I do not need to learn how to handle those stuff at the moment. But I am planning to enter a nursing school next year. So I will keep watching your clips. Keep up the good work.

[olisaprice]

Even though I am scared of ivs line's. You did a great job putting in a IV line great job

[ferreiragunderson]

I'm strongly considering becoming a radiologist, but imagining myself being calm and professional while initiating this process... That makes my ears ring.
How do I condition myself to relax, even subconsciously?

I have sickle cell disease so I have a port because I don't have any veins. I don't like IVs because when the meds get pushed in, it blows the vein.

I had a nurse who simply would not simply use my port so she found out the hard way that I have a port for reason.

I've never heard of lidocaine being used though. I guess you learn something new everyday.
