The demonstrator has poor technique. This is the worst way to hold an angiocath when using ultrasound for vein cannulation. By using an underhanded technique, he limits his ability to control the angle of attack onto the target. Ive done thousands of ultrasound guided line placements and this gentleman clearly has not.
