Wei Dynasty it is good information, when i had pramedic School we had to Practice on our Selfs or on your Partner aswell:) Thats the way to learn :) try it on a Patient , the doctor will kill you. When Start it , real practice had to be done upfront, and Not with Patients or dummys :)
hey sam, this saturday will be TWO YEARS since i got my new heart! i had my heart transplant at u of m in ann arbor michigan! i am feeling great! after all i’ve been through, i have decided when i graduate high school (i’m a senior) i want to become a nurse and or paramedic! your videos are really interesting and have taught me quite a lot. i feel like since i’ve been in and out of the hospital my whole life being helped by medical personnel it’s my turn to give back and use my second chance at life to its best ability! ❤️
I think he should TEACH it to medical people. I went to Paramedic School and was trained by RN's who didn't say as much as he did. Altho they never needed to explain what distal & proximal means bc we took Medical Terminology & Anatomy courses.
Had my wife (who’s a surgeon) watch this and she said she’s confident I can easily do an IV after watching this 😂 she’s got way too much faith in my ability
I really need to keep watching these vids just so that I am no longer afraid of seeing blood anymore, this vid helps me to be more confident when I do become a Nurse one day ❤️
Nice video, mostly accurate, easy to understand. Two things that may need to be updated/corrected: #1, it is not dermatitis as is mentioned, that would be caused, it is possible infection and #2, the Intravenous Nursing Society recommends that an IV can stay in place until it is no longer functional or needs to be changed for other reasons (drainage, wet dressing, infiltrates, s/s infection). (Most facilities do change sites that were started by ambulance personnel). Thank you.
I watched 15 seasons of Grey's Anatomy, I'm ready to do my first Craniotomy 😂 in a more serious note, that show did inspired to to actively learn more about first aid and trauma care. Since I started to watch the show, I took several Red Cross classes to learn how to do CPR, how to use AED, etc. got my certificate and I now I carry emergency medical supplies with me everyday, I might not be good enough to actually treat an injury, but my supply can help more qualified people to do it.
From h to be perspective of a needle-hating patient, this is way better than all those “what to expect” videos. You literally showed us everything, and told us why. Thx:)
Hi, I love watching your videos. I'm a police officer in Buenos Aires, Argentina ... and I consider them very useful, I have learned a lot. Greetings from Argentina.
I'm a registered ER nurse I have to do this million times a day I dont like getting stuck with needles my self but it must be done to help every patient if they arnt able to take pills or medication syrups
I'm not a doctor. I don't plan to be a doctor. I'm afraid of needles. I'm afraid of surgery. I'm afraid of hospitals. Yet I'm watching this. Edit: I'm no longer scared of any of that and I want to be a doctor now, that kind of ruins the comment doesn't it-
I had to do a Sergey and said to put me out with gass but the anthistesiolagist said your too big and need an I.V.. My blood pressure jumped 20 or 30 bpm... yeah... before he got the needle out........
Dude, thank you! Writing a novel, and a few of the chars are doctors. Being blind, it's hard to learn something like this, but you made it perfectly easy to understand. Thank you!
Phenomenal video!!!! I'm a nursing student and preparing for checks-off. Couldn't have asked for any better instruction! Good verbalization and distance from site. Thanks!!!!!
I don't cringe looking at blood and gore, but watching a needle go into a vein is just so cringy for me to watch. I imagine it going into my arm instead!
There is a REALLY big difference in how good nurses is at finding a blood vein for a IV. At least on me most of the time they have struggled to do it (stabbing me many times before success, and using a long time and needing a strap, and clapping on the place a lot). Even one in a ambulance did not manage to set a IV on a 1.5 hour ambulance ride i had after a accident (she tried the back of both hands and one arm). But i have been surprised with two different nurses at the hospital that just found it right away, and one of them even set two IV's (one in each arm) and just got both of them right in with no hesitation or tourniquet or anything like that.
My hospital ID badge reel says “Don’t worry, I watched how to do this on TH-cam” 😂😂😂. I always thank patients when I meet them, and tell them that “I’m grateful for this opportunity, I’ve always wanted to try this”. 😂
My personal tips are: 1. Place a gauze that folded once under the catheter, this will prevent bloody mass on actual patient's skin. Based on my experience, even you pressed a vein strongly, blood will leak out eventually unless placing on infants. 2. Most of catheters have a small plastic cap at behind of catheter's stylet. I usually loosen it before I make a venipuncture, then I plug the end of catheter with it temporarily until I have a t-port ready to go. 3. When you see a flash of blood initially, you advance a catheter, lift the catheter slightly, this will prevent scraping vein's wall or accidental vein blowing. 4. For taping I always prepare a 1 inch tape with half inch vertical cut and a small half inch tape. I place a 1 inch tape with a cut under a catheter to prevent a catheter to come out, and sometimes, t-port's screw parts are not perfectly fit with catheters, and this can come out loose, so I wrap a half inch tape around a screw of t-port to secure it. I called this an 'anchor'. 5. When you do not have a PRN adapters, you can use rubber tip of 3 cc syringe's plunger. Just apply some alcohol before you use it. This is a improvised technique that I learned from a NGO paramedic in Nigeria.
@@notjohndoe7130 primarily (at least at the BRK in Bavaria) we wont use loops and have other kinds of turniquets (i hope this is the right spelling ^^'). I dont really see other differences and yes, these are really small differences, but the basics are the same around the world I guess
Timo H. Not all IVs need loops just, there’s some brands like the one I use in the hospital I work at there’s already sort of a loop on the angiocath that you get blood from and then flush after blood collection.
I'm a new grad/ ob/gyn/perinatal/neonatal nurse. I work with both expected and postpartum mother's and babies. I have trouble starting IVs even after 6 months of training on ALL my patients. I've been told that mastering this, esp in emergent situations takes time (no eager nurse cares to hear that!) but I always manage to blow my veins :( .It definitely takes a toll on your confidence but I will say that this video actually makes me feel more comfortable in doing this. Thanks
Same. I have anemia so I’m constantly getting blood labs done so I got used to needles at a really young age. I also grew up with severe allergies and had to get two allergy shots every week for 11 years. So, it really doesn’t bother me. I used to be terrified of needles but it’s whatever now.
Thank you!!! I’m in nursing school and I had a whole summer between my first and only IV stick and my ER rotation tomorrow!!! Eeeeee! Your tutorial reminded me of what to do and what to prep!! Thank you!!
This is a skill like every other skill. It becomes a quick reflex. Well done! I’ve probably put a thousand in from the foot to the neck and scalp over 30 yrs as a trauma nurse. Then there are the challenges such as a seizure patient, belligerent or mentally ill patient or one that “codes” just as you start. Truth is much stranger than fiction.
Lol no... Not in the amputated arm at least (the human being, yes)... But in EMS, we would not start an IV in an amputated arm... I appreciate the humor (if that was your intention), I just wanted to clarify depending on what you meant 😅
@Logan Trudel any veins work theory wise Its just alot easier to find the veins in the arm, so they use the arm, so they just use the neck, chest, whatever is available
I just started nursing school and this is my first time watching something like this. It makes my heart race and makes me feel emotional watching needles, so getting through this is a big step for me! I'm trying to desensitize myself for when it comes time to start needle stuff in school.
You should do a video on Narcan/Naloxone, it would be a good video because in some areas you can get a Naloxone IM kit after taking a one day course. It would be very helpful. P.s. Great vid!
Hi, I am a Dentist and I do IV sedation. Watching your video freshened things and the steps. Very good step by step instructions. Thanks, keep doing the good work.
As an EMT-Basic, I have just become that much more useful to hand my AEMT counterparts the equipment they need and understand what it is they are doing. Thank you for this knowledge.
Great video. Good explanation, just remember secure the needle before you fully remove it from the catheter and remove the constricting band before you remove the needle from the catheter. That way the chance of blowing the vein decreases and less of a mess 👍🏻👍🏻
I’m an EMT and I just watched a 19min video on TH-cam on how to start an IV so I am so excited to start a line on my next shift even tho I know it’s well out of my scope of practice🙂
When I got an IV (that was never used in the end, nurses thought I had appendicitis) they yanked my head away so I couldn't see the catheter going in, and the plastic tube actually hurt while it was in. I stayed overnight the they let me go. The nurse made me unwrap the catheter and pull the tube out of my vein. I told them I had a fear of needles too, and I think that experience made it worse 🤔
Well I sort of have a problem with the veins on my wrists and neck, the heart and eye balls as well. What I try to do is just watch many videos until I get used to it you know.
I've never seen a pvk that looks like this. I'm used to a snap-on lid on the pvk in which you administer meds etc. Furthermore, the pvk have 2 plastic butterfly type things which you fold out and tape those to the skin. For extra security we use Vecafix which is non-transparent except for at the area where the pvk enters the skin. The Vecafix is also pre-cut vertically about an inch and a half, so each half covers that butterfly wings I mentioned. Finally, the tourniquet has a plastic snap on it, making it very easy to open with one hand. I hope you understood at least half of this, and thank you for this very informative video- it's always interesting watching how different the "tools" look and are used in other countries. Very good vid. Thanks again 😊
I agree this is something that most if not all civilians should not be using. That being said, it makes you appreciate the professionals and the training they have. Plus if I ever have an IV started on me ( hopefully never) I'll know what to expect.
This was interesting to watch as a phlebotomist since it's considered outside my scope of practice where I work. One tip when pulling the skin is to both pull the sides AND down from the bottom if possible. Good anchors = no rolly veins.
I been an IV user of opioids for like 6 years now lol. And it’s funny most nurses SUCK so bad at puttin an IV on. A few times I said dude let me do it please and snatched it out of them so they weren’t liable. But thanks for the extra harm reduction to opiate dependent people who IV. I salute you!! I wanna work in any phlebotomy related honestly cause I feel like I’m pro and got it down. I’ve helped at least 8 other people and hundreds of times combined so it & safely everything sterile. Taught harm reduction. & most them r ignorant on medical facts & safety so idk I wanna help people :3 anyways that gauge u first showed seems prettt big.... I prefer 27 to 31 gauge
Actually many really are very bad at it and others are careless about maintenance. In many pts. with abused veins, venipuncture is still easy but threading in a catheter can be more challenging.
@@heddispaghetti8189 actually, what scientists believe is happening is that the other microscopic minerals in NS (normal saline) travel through the bloodstream to our lungs and cause an odor when we exhale them and since smell plays a huge part in how things taste for us, some people "taste" the saline solution. It's a crazy phenomenon nonetheless
Could you do a video on starting fluids. A few tips and tricks. Especially for making sure the flow doesn't get messed up in an austere environment where there's a lot of movement.
I’m an emt our in California but I would like maybe a video on stuff you expect your emt partners to do to help you out while on a call like what can we do to help make your life as the medic easier in the field on calls
PrepMedic I’m on a cct Rn unit with a nurse and a second emt love your videos showed this one to our ces and one of the supervisors and they enjoyed it greatly
patrick staley please note. Patrick’s comment originated in California where it is known to the state of California to cause cancer. Please be advised.
thank you for the tips. for now on I'm folding that corner on the Tegaderm. I work in pediatrics and its all I can do to hold my patient down while I'm placing an iv much less get my gloved hand a tangled up in a sticky Tegaderm
I remember when I got an IV I was actually really scared, but the doctor was nice and comforted me through it. It hurts a bunch when the doc or nurse puts it in because it's a long needle and it kinda slithers into you. But over time it feels much better just don't move that arm around too much or you will feel the needle move around in you or it can rupture something. Trust me, I kept messing with it and it poked my muscle lol.
Once you get a flash you should release the tourniquet to release pressure in the vain... Stops blood from pouring out when you reach for the drug/ fluids... Amazing video
IV is not #1 priority but it's always good to have it on the patient before the veins start to collapse due to a shock. it will be much harder to do when you arrive to the hospital.
Surgical tech/scrub tech don't put IV's not certified. ERT's and medics do. Must know the next surgical use for procedure. Scrub tech and ERT/ Medic here.
These DIYs are getting crazy

This was interesting to watch as a phlebotomist since it's considered outside my scope of practice where I work. One tip when pulling the skin is to both pull the sides AND down from the bottom if possible. Good anchors = no rolly veins.
This is a very informative video. I learned a lot from this.
I been an IV user of opioids for like 6 years now lol. And it’s funny most nurses SUCK so bad at puttin an IV on. A few times I said dude let me do it please and snatched it out of them so they weren’t liable. But thanks for the extra harm reduction to opiate dependent people who IV. I salute you!! I wanna work in any phlebotomy related honestly cause I feel like I’m pro and got it down. I’ve helped at least 8 other people and hundreds of times combined so it & safely everything sterile. Taught harm reduction. & most them r ignorant on medical facts & safety so idk I wanna help people :3 anyways that gauge u first showed seems prettt big.... I prefer 27 to 31 gauge
Actually many really are very bad at it and others are careless about maintenance. In many pts. with abused veins, venipuncture is still easy but threading in a catheter can be more challenging.
Does anyone else taste the saline when they get their IV flushed?
Every damn time.
This is caused by the saline going into the bloodstream and since you have tons of vessels in your mouth and nose, you’re able to smell/taste it😊
I’d be thoroughly concerned if my saline IV flush ended up anywhere but my blood stream.
@@heddispaghetti8189 actually, what scientists believe is happening is that the other microscopic minerals in NS (normal saline) travel through the bloodstream to our lungs and cause an odor when we exhale them and since smell plays a huge part in how things taste for us, some people "taste" the saline solution. It's a crazy phenomenon nonetheless
Taylor Harper Obviously
Could you do a video on starting fluids. A few tips and tricks. Especially for making sure the flow doesn't get messed up in an austere environment where there's a lot of movement.
why am I watching these type of videos when I still have to finish junior high and high school to start learning these things lol
I have now learned where I went wrong and was not taught in nursing school when I had blood everywhere 🤣. Thank you
This is some cool stuff. Now I want to be a firefighter paramedic
This video was extremely helpful. Great job!
I’m an emt our in California but I would like maybe a video on stuff you expect your emt partners to do to help you out while on a call like what can we do to help make your life as the medic easier in the field on calls
PrepMedic I’m on a cct Rn unit with a nurse and a second emt love your videos showed this one to our ces and one of the supervisors and they enjoyed it greatly
patrick staley please note. Patrick’s comment originated in California where it is known to the state of California to cause cancer. Please be advised.
Hey pat are you NorCal or SoCal?
Start the IV. 😂
TXA has had a big positive impact on outcomes for several patients I've had.
I honestly cried watching this because I am next level terrified of needles.. 😅😅
damn fr? whats the biggest fear of it?
I to am terrified of needles and doctors and honestly and get nervous around doctors.
This will hopefully help me in the future I want to be a ER nurse and help take blood
You’ve tought me so many things
Obviously not how to spell
@@raskingha does it matter its not english class
thank you for the tips. for now on I'm folding that corner on the Tegaderm. I work in pediatrics and its all I can do to hold my patient down while I'm placing an iv much less get my gloved hand a tangled up in a sticky Tegaderm
I hate needles and when he was putting the needle in I'm like "oh hell no"
Reina Arana my thoughts exactly
This was better than my nursing instructors attempt at teaching this to us.
this is me facing my biggest fear by watching it on youtube
Cheyenne Keller literally same lmao I’m so afraid of getting my blood drawn or getting IVs
@@alyssabrignoni getting blood drawn isn't that bad.
Same
Luke Brown omg stoppppp pls
I’m in medical school and this video helped lots, thank you!
You shouldn't have to learn these techniques from YT!!!!
Dope Video! Sending blessing your way, Keep inspiring!🎒🙌🏻
It refreshes my IV routine, thank you
I want to be a nurse in the future, cause of this I'm watching this, just interested..❤️
I remember when I got an IV I was actually really scared, but the doctor was nice and comforted me through it. It hurts a bunch when the doc or nurse puts it in because it's a long needle and it kinda slithers into you. But over time it feels much better just don't move that arm around too much or you will feel the needle move around in you or it can rupture something. Trust me, I kept messing with it and it poked my muscle lol.
thx, gonna need that for the apocalypse
Whelp, you are in luck, because the apocalypse has happened 😅. You jinxed us! 🤣
You did a great job definitely different from the other nurses what they done to my IV
I feel like I'm one of the only people who actally love the feeling of a needle going in my veins
😻😻
This is probably the only video that'll ever make me physically queezy.
Whew.
Never had an iv in my arm I’ve gone my entire 16 years thinking there’s a needle in your arm the entire time 😂😂😂😂😂
david korkes same!!! I was looking for this comment I always thought the needle stayed 🤦🏼♀️🤨
Your dumb
me & you both david, until i became a nurse and learned its a tiny catheter
@@dick7482 *you're*
I've had many ivs and I thought the needle stayed
This great learning for me because I’d like to be a doctor or a nurse, I’ll start training hopefully in a couple more years
In the UK, we call them Cannula's (rather than Catheter's)
A Catheter is what we call, the object that is placed, within the bladder
It is funny, we call both of them catheters
Once you get a flash you should release the tourniquet to release pressure in the vain... Stops blood from pouring out when you reach for the drug/ fluids...
Amazing video
Depends. We usually draw blood prior to anything else, so leaving the tourniquet in place is preferred.
I nearly fainted watching this
This is so awesome. It always seems like so much to do, but it's so simple when you explain it.
IV is not #1 priority but it's always good to have it on the patient before the veins start to collapse due to a shock. it will be much harder to do when you arrive to the hospital.
You’re a GREAT TEACHER!!
JUST DO IT ALREADY...sorry I have anxiety
So informing. I’m hopefully going to go to school to be a surgical tech:) thanks!!!
Surgical tech/scrub tech don't put IV's not certified. ERT's and medics do. Must know the next surgical use for procedure. Scrub tech and ERT/ Medic here.
I’m starting my first block of nursing school and I’m so worried I’m gonna eff this up so hard 😅🙃🙃
Same I’m 17 start in the 16 of September
Thanks!
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
