What if you only have one hand to do this... To draw back to check if you're on vein if your are taking you're own blood

(video author here) You'll want to develop a grip that allows you to control the syringe with one hand, so you can use your other hand to control the probe. It would be very difficult to do an ultrasound-guided approach without both hands.
