If the bag is hung below the level of the patient's heart, then blood will regurgitate into the tubing. However, there is a one-way valve on most primary sets that will prevent it from getting to the bag. If you're using a basic set, then blood can enter the bag if it is placed far below the patient's heart. The reason IV bags are hung up high is to allow the fluid to reach terminal velocity and end up in the patient's heart more quickly. The higher a fluid is hung, the more time gravity has to carry it to terminal velocity, so it'll reach the patient faster. Conversely, the lower the bag is dropped below the patient, the faster the patient's blood will go back down the line and into the bag. If the IV bag is at the exact same level as the heart, then nothing will flow at all, because they are both equal. Hope this makes sense!
Not a very good teaching video. We can't see the IV bag, the tubing being spiked or the actual air bubbles being dispersed. And, also, what the heck about attaching the needle? - No view.
I tried this on myself and it worked . Great video guys !
U doing good job. U need to hear that❤
Thank You! EMT class.
Thank you it was very informative
Hi you guys have really good video and now can u make some video for thesis for degree nursing student
Can there be regurgitation of blood inside the iv bag?

Cannot see what they are doing!
Thank you❤️💙🤎💛💜💚🙏
Hello the glove was in the way damm!
Literally covering up the equipment during the entire demonstration. The camera is too far away and you can’t see anything that’s being done.
wait i didn’t see you invert the ports

room for improvement, he needs to show the camera when spiking
Not good , hands in the way
