Exactly. They think they know everything. They wouldn't last a day on the floors.

Well it does matter because people watching this will take this on as the norm and may use these methods in their own setting. For instance, jewellery worn in a clinical setting when performing procedure is prohibited due to infection risk that jewellery carries. A simple wedding band is all that is allowed. Also nail polish/paint/varnish is also not allowed for obvious reasons that I simply dont have to explain.

OPPS, FAXXS

​@@frazzeldazzel5445 Well that's simply not true everywhere lol

@@frazzeldazzel5445 Not even a wedding band is allowed where I live.

The patient arm is not straight enough if that is happening use to happen to me as well. Have them hang the arm down off the bed let gravity help you and make the arm bone straight promise it will go in every time no resistance with threading. Good luck on your sticks

1. For the re-using problem, I guess she is just using the alcohol to make the veins more visible (reflection) but not for disinfection. I assume she would disinfect with another swab after wearing gloves. 2. Concentric motion is one practice and swabbing in straight line along one direction is completely fine as well

Or using gloves? And slapping? And wearing jewelry???

You nails are supposed to to be less 1-4 of an inch.

You’re such a Karen omg

Where can I buy a warmer?

I now double tourniquet all my patients. Haven't missed yet. Awesome trick. Thanks sooo much. 👍☺

pretty sure it takes up to 48 hours of a tourniquet being on to cause actual tissue damage. the reason they tell you not to leave it on so long is if it’s putting pressure on the artery it can make some more sensitive people feel faint. or cause hemolysis of the specimen. but generally healthy people will be fine as long as it isn’t on for like a really really long time.

It’s didn’t even last 3 full minutes, she’ll live

We also don’t “flick” veins. Rubbing is best practice. I only put this information here so others know correct information.

AC veins are a good option for pre hospital providers especially when giving medications like Adenosine or others with a short half life. The information in this video is helpful.

@@RichardC313 Exactly, also if a pt requires contrast for a ct scan, forearm doesn't work as well.

Frankly, the ACF is completely fine for IV insertion, and in most emergency cases, 14/16 gauge cannulas will be put in the ACF because it is quicker and easier, and the veins are literally larger so are _LESS_ likely to fail in elderly patients with thinner venous walls that can blow due to the cannula edges pulling on the lateral vein walls during cannula insertion. This video is demonstrating how to find the veins, not where to cannulate them specifically. Also as said above, in temporary cannulas such as those put in for CT contrast injection, there is no real reason not to go in the ACF because the larger veins reduce the risk of infiltration and extravasation of contrast when pressure injecting at higher flow rates. Smaller hand and forearm veins, although ok for low flow rates and IV’s, have a greater known risk of blowing when pressure injectors are used. I’m fairly sure that this video was purely for demonstrative purposes. If not, I would be more concerned about the watch, bracelets and painted fingernails than the location of her cannula insertion.

@@RichardC313As well as CT Angiography.

Spelling credible correctly would have also helped your post be more credible as well. : )
