    My tip for getting the van large is actually one I saw here on TH-cam, I take a tensor bandage start at the upper arm and with medium tension, gradually wrap it down to just below the elbow. Works almost every time even on those little old ladies with veins, the size of a hair.🙂

    Your videos on IV access along with others are brilliant. When I first qualified as a Paramedic I have very little feedback on how to improve my IV technique but it improved a lot after watching your videos. Now as a mentoring Paramedic in the UK I always refer my students to your channel to improve their techniques.

    i’ve been starting IVs since 1978 and I average 30 a week since then. that’s about 68,640 IV starts for me. Much of what you say is spot on and I love your enthusiasm to do a good job with this skill. I will tell you the most dramatic thing that has come along in the last 44 years for those tough starts is point of care ultrasound guided IVs. I now have an extremely low threshold to use it. I figure why not convert your success rate to 99.6%.

    Once had an anesthesiologist, put an IV directly into my cephalic nerve, thinking it was a pain. It is extremely painful and six years later I still have some numbness in two of my fingers. If you are going to go for the wrist vein like that, get a vein finder machine if you have it and confirm that what you are poking is indeed a vein.

    Sir I worked as a mbbs intern in India .. during initial days I was briefed by one of the seniors on cannulation technique...and I used to do it accordingly...but apparently it was not right...because it would lead to failed cannulation and vein puncture...I was very disheartened and got scared when somebody told me to put a cannula...so I decided to see some yt video on cannulation...I came across your video by chance...and it changed my internship experience forever...sir there came a point when people would call from different units and wards for putting their difficult cannulas and seniors used to say that before sending anesthesia call ..i should try once...chemo patients , obese patients and chronic patients used to call for me for putting their cannula... it was not my lone effort ...it was all because of you ....thank you so much sir... forever indebted to you ...may god bless you 🙏🏾🙏🏾

    Heyyy!! I find that I often get flashback, then I get resistance on the way in, sometimes it can be instantly and sometimes it’s a couple of millimetres in! And then I try to push through the resistance, and inevitably the cannula is gone. When I take the cannula out, it’s always kinked, usually towards the top on the cannula . What am I doing wrong?! It’s always usually in the anticubital fossa

  • @dusanlukic6647
    @dusanlukic6647 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hello, please help.
    I had an operation and the medical worker put a green cannula (and a longer one) in the vein on my hand, which is closer to the index finger. during the infusion, the flow of fluid was constantly stopped. I guess that was the first sign of thrombophlebitis. they did not introduce the cannula into the second vein. due to its length, the cannula went over the joint surface and they let the infusion flow at high speed. the vein on my forearm hardened, I had slight bruises in its place. I don't know if it is a basilica or a cephalic. when the arm is in the anatomical supination position, that hardened vein is closer to the body. on the hand where the cannula was, the vein is completely thin, barely visible. hardened vein on the forearm after months of not being there. on the lower side of the wrist on the hand, the veins are more swollen, as if they have taken over their function. does all this mean that the vein in which the cannula was located and upstream on the forearm was totally destroyed? will he ever recover? and have a function? I am in great disbelief and very frustrated because I had the opportunity to read on the Internet that the vein collapses and collapses with multiple needle punctures and in drug addicts. this is not the case with me. is it possible that from one infusion and one poorly introduced cannula, I assume larger cannula for that vein and too much flow, my vein will be irretrievably destroyed?

  • @doey10

    Problem I have is locating the vein again after I’ve palpated and decided on where I’m going. The veins I can only feel, not see, there is no visual clue. I just always need to keep feeling, I need an X marks the spot as it’s hard to keep the area sterile.

    I've seen nurses use saline on the peripheral venous catheter in this following scenario. Whilst inserting the catheter they get flashback but are unable to insert the whole catheter, they then use a syringe with saline as they withdraw the catheter (with the needle withdrawn already but with the tiny catheter still inside the patient) untill they see another flashback in the catheter. They then push in a 1-2 ml of saline at the same time at they advance the catheter only in order to expand the vein with the saline and put the plastic catheter in place.
    How you seen this? Is this a valid technique?
    Kind regards,

    • @BamSandle
      @BamSandle 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Stop flushing it! Best you can do is remove it and compress the site. The subcut fluid will clear eventually. You can reduce the chance of this by ensuring there is good flashback before fully withdrawing the needle, and getting familiar with what a "normal" amount of resistance should feel like when threading the cannula off the needle
