- Starting an IV is a fundamental skill in medicine. An IV can be used for a variety of different situations from curing a hangover to delivering potentially lifesaving medications to a patient. In this video I will give you step by step instructions on how to start an IV.
Skip to actual needle insertion: 10:56
When your doctor watches this before the surgery
Thank god your doctor isn’t the one doing your IV
😬 😬😬
Lmao
Doctors rarely insert IVs lmao
ajla they still know the procedure, but your right
you are the best medic youtuber!
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.

Agree! His voice is soothing and very calming. Great teacher! Thanks!
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.
I highly recommended taking your EMT certification. I just finished mine. It's only a semester and the information you learn is priceless.
@@RambunctiousVids how long did it take you ?
@@AA-zx7zn Just took NREMT yesterday took 10 weeks
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 ❤️
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 had a PIC line at 16 and again a year later. I then became a MA last year. Phlebotomy yay! I now am in nursing school. This should be fun.
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!!!!!
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 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!
@@cinnamongirl9024 omfg ikr???! I swear I thought I was the only one!!!
Sameeeeee
Same
Especially when they pop your vein.
I’m pretty vascular and I literally get terrified of iv’s
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:)
Who can feel this in their arm?
me omggg
Yes. Especially putting medicine in
Alex Kamaratos not me cause shots don’t hurt
Alex Kamaratos omg yes😭😭
Me im so used to it tho
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.
Keep these videos coming. Going from a BLS truck to an ALS truck, and now on to Paramedic school, these videos gave me a great preview of what to expect and what I should be studying. You know how they say "You don't even know what you don't know" well that's especially true when starting out in EMS. These videos gave me a great heads up on which meds I should be studying, what procedures I should be looking into, the terms I needed to know more about, and what anatomy and physiology systems I needed to get a more advanced understanding of. You have no idea how much these videos helped me walk into training without being clueless like most of the class.
EMT 2 certificate last year. Still haven't had enough practice to feel competent. We are in a low volume area, rural AK.
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
Awesome. That was by far the simplest explanation of an iv I've ever seen.
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!
Here where I live it’s free!
Thanks for the reply, and glad to hear that you’re planning to do a video on it!
Does anyone know where I can get Naloxone in the UK just because the drug laws are pretty outdated here ??
@@jackforshaw4439 oy mate, you got a loicense for that medicine...
am I a doctor?No. Is this gonna help me? No. Is this important? Yes very!!
Edit: OMGGG THANK YOU FOR THE LIKES
Dancing feminists literally me
Haha me
Meee
Dancing feminists same

>it’s not important
>it’ll help you
pick one
learned this while in the military... valuable skill to know. especially for dehydration...
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.
The BEST and MOST informative video of its kind- it focuses on details a junior nurse needs to learn-- thanks sir!
I'm probably never going to place an IV, but this is useful to learn!!
Thank you for this video! This helps a lot as a nursing student. I'm on my first year and hopefully I'll be able to pass my course. ☺❤
I studying medicine and sciences I have a training arm this video very useful for me as with covid 19 restrictions I study from home
Great IV tutorial wish I can be surrounded by staff like you when the real deal goes down 💪🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
Unpopular opinion I dont mind needles
J J haha same I watched the nurse literally extract(?) 10 cc blood from my arm it was pretty chill
Yeah I get IVs every week and I can just.... look now
I'm getting over my fear of them
Yeah I don’t mind them either i could give less of a fuck
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.
U are the best medic I’ve ever seen
If the arm is amputated do you really need an IV?
You can put ivs in feet too. Any peripheral vein. Amputations need fluids, antibiotics, and much more. Smh.
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 😅
Rachel what if they don’t have arms or legs? Genuine question, not being a dick.
in the chest or neck
@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
As a nursing student! Thankyou! This video is a big help♥️
TXA has had a big positive impact on outcomes for several patients I've had.
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.
how’s nursing school going?
did you makit tell me
I am no doctor but this was in my recommended but very useful. When i become a doctor for marine this will be useful.
This will hopefully help me in the future I want to be a ER nurse and help take blood
We call the loop a saline lock up here in Canada. Never hear it called a loop before. Good tip with the tegaderm flap fold!
This is a very informative video. I learned a lot from this.
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.
I dont like needles but I am going to force myself to watch this, what with all the craziness out the world this might become reality for me.
made it :)
good job its good to overcome you're fears
It refreshes my IV routine, thank you
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 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.
This is some cool stuff. Now I want to be a firefighter paramedic
This is probably the only video that'll ever make me physically queezy.
Whew.
Why did I click on this I have a fear of needles
lauren hillstrom same
We are all a bit masochistic in here
lauren 0095 same
Me too pal, me too. But I’m looking at this since I’m looking forward to getting into med school...speaking about masochism
I'm not scared of needles but I Im mostly when I have to have a IV
I’m in medical school and this video helped lots, thank you!
You shouldn't have to learn these techniques from YT!!!!
I have issues with veins, eye balls injuries, and inserting rods directly into fingers. I need to overcome this. Has anyone else succeeded with this?
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 summer from venephobia.i come even write the v word 🥵😱😭
You did a great job definitely different from the other nurses what they done to my IV
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.
I hate needles and when he was putting the needle in I'm like "oh hell no"
Reina Arana my thoughts exactly
Re-learning phlebotomy, so this is a great refresher.
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. 😂
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.
Most often we started an IV in the rig for two reasons, even if we were not going to administer meds. The first was that the hospital is very likely to start an IV when the patient comes through the door, almost in every case, so we used our available transport time to save time in the ED. Second, someone is going to bill for starting the IV, either the hospital or the ambulance service. Might as well be us. Bonus tip: Like most any skill you lose it if you don't use it. Starting an IV in a critical patient can be so much harder so it's good to keep your chops up.
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
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
thx, gonna need that for the apocalypse
Whelp, you are in luck, because the apocalypse has happened 😅. You jinxed us! 🤣
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 nearly fainted watching this
damn you told me more about my arm in this video then anytime in my life before.
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
Good job Sam can’t wait for the next video
Great job, friend. Big thumbs from Russia.
Dope Video! Sending blessing your way, Keep inspiring!🎒🙌🏻
very informative, and helpful. thank you.
Love this channel!
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”. 😂
Thanks for some advice on how I can teach my ER techs.
Well explained and demonstrated. I will follow your tips . Thanks
I want to be a nurse in the future, cause of this I'm watching this, just interested..❤️
why did i watch this 2 weeks before my surgery oh god im going to CRY that day
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.
bro how do you guys do this. I can’t even look if its someone else. I’m honestly glad other people will fill the role if I won’t.
So much for another lesson from the TH-cam Medical School.
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
this brings me back to the time when it took 6 tries with the hospitals best iv nurses. i didn't hate needles before that, I do now!
This is important stuff thank you for sharing.
Great info, Thank you very much..
after getting the flash of blood ,its actually better to lift a bit ,the needle horizontally & forward..And then insert at an angle. In order to prevent DP.
Me with a fear of needles: haha videos of needles and IVs cant scare me
Me 1 second later: NOPE. HAHA LETW GO TO THE TRAIN TO NOPECITY
I love you this was exactly what I needed!
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.
Thank you really good explanation.
Watching this as I must be able to explain an IV to a child of any age that comes into the hospital. Once I start my clinicals I will actually have to explain this procedure to a child of various ages so any suggestions would be helpful
the video is very helpful, thanks
Very well explained. Thank you!
It's very informative, so useful..thank you very much for sharing.
Lol i have very frequent infusions and i would never watch them put the iv in. So now i know why i was always in pain😂
Lanee Vitt Lool me too but I watch
@@emiliesmith9917 I have iron infusions and now I am getting phobic about the Friday before a holiday. The last, there 2 nurses available and the fellow blew my veins twice and then the female blew my vein twice. My arm like I have been abused. Blowing OK but 4 time! Owwwl
Nice video this is exactly what I did in our return demonstration
Very good explanation
Seriously considering a careers in EMS, but needles freak me the hell out. Something I could get over, but still not fun 😂
The new intro is awesome!
If only the nurse I had at my last ER visit could see this video. First she got the catheter in the wrong place. Then she tried a second time and poked the same vein only in a different spot and the saline went into a pocket under the skin. Thankfully it was only saline and not something your body doesn’t produce on its own. Otherwise who knows what would’ve happened.
It's because they "train" each other!
She got the IV placed didn't she? That's what matters. Sometimes it's not as easy as portrayed in this video, keep that in mind!
Your content is great! What about intubation? I’d love to see a video on that
12:40 is what ur looking for👌
this is a great video thank u
Thank you so much ! 💪🏼😇💯
I'm not a doctor and I have no interest in being a doctor but I do enjoy learning things like this
Thanks for this ! We're about to recreate MK Ultra experiments with 100cc of L S D
Hey thanks
In the future I want to be a paramedic
Keep up the good work!!
Can I have you as my professor next year when I go to nursing school? I'm honestly terrified to mess things like this up. I know I'm gonna be trained and do it a million times, but I would hate to hurt anyone through a mistake of my own
I am absolutely TERRIFIED of needles, but I made it through without passing out or shaking too bad. But I'm definitely not gonna be able to go to sleep any time soon. I wanna go into medicine but I'm strongly reconsidering.
There I go being on the weird side of TH-cam again 🤷🏽♀️ informative tho😂
