To focus on the positives, this is a good video to show a student to name three or four things the vet techs did incorrectly.

She got the catheter in, so kudos to her for that. But for teaching/demonstration purposes this whole process could have been better executed and explained. People already don’t take vet techs as seriously as human nurses, even though we perform many of the same skills. So I feel that a video of someone placing an IV with little regard for aseptic technique would only reinforce that stereotype about us techs. Also, as an ER/intensive care tech, I’m begging you all (especially GP techs) to PLEASE place your catheters as low on the leg as possible. That catheter was placed so high up on the leg. Scar tissue will develop high up on the vein, making it even more difficult for the next person to place an IV in a potential emergency.

This is the worst example of an IVC placement, there are so many things being done incorrectly it makes me cringe to watch! 😱

no gloves??? not entirely cleaning the area before or after a huge splurge of blood,,,, come on

The way she shaved the area was a bit rough, the blades can cause razor burn if directly put on the skin like that. It irritates the area and can cause infection after bandaging for long periods.

There are so many things wrong with this video!! First off, it is extremely important to wear gloves. An exception is in an emergency situation when you have to place a catheter ASAP or the pet will die. Her not wearing gloves can spread bacteria and ruins the catheter's sterility. Second, she let the catheter bleed all over the dog's arm! In catheterization as a technician, I have found that holding down the cephalic vein slightly cranial, a little below where the other nurse is holding off, can help "hold off" the blood flow so that when you place the cap onto the catheter, it has a nicer finish. It's also important to not have blood all over the catheter site so that there's no risk of infection. The entire taping process made me cringe so bad 😭 My emergency hospital does all this very differently than this. I understand each clinic/hospital is different but we should still be taking into consideration that we want the 110% best for our patients and our furry friends don't deserve poorly performed catheters.

she isn't even restraining correctly she could get bit. that dog is a saint for not moving

Ahhhhh! Scarey! I have to agree with the previous comment... this uis NOT the way to place an IV catheter aseptically :/

Everyone is so upset of her not wearing gloves? Let’s face it, the reality of you putting gloves on to place a Catheter is kinda of ridiculous. If you were to put regular non sterile gloves on, you are not truly limiting the amount of bacteria being exposed to the patient. Those regular gloves you got from that opened box probably have been exposed to plenty of bacteria and all the bacteria on your hands from you trying to put them on. Once you scrub the patient, don’t touch your fingers/hands and anything else to the “sterile” field that can contaminate it! I’ve never seen someone put gloves on to place a catheter. And the risk of a zoonotic blood borne pathogen is slim since there isn’t a whole lot animals can transmit to us. Also, if you place the catheter right and have no issues, it shouldn’t be a bloody mess. It’s always nice to have the PPE but the reality and practicality of it, sometimes (and most times) you have to play dirty.

Why was the bevel not facing up?????? As someone at the beginning stages of my career, I was taught from the get-go to always have the bevel up. Once you get a flash of blood in the hub, you are supposed to advance your catheter…not the needle. I don’t like picking on peole and this not meant to be an insult to the technician. We learn to do things the way we are taught. Is she a bad tech?…No, we don’t know that. I am lucky to have senior techs who are mentoring me and helping me learn to do things the proper way. Is there more than one way to do things?…Yes. Is this one of them?…not in my opinion. I work in an ER and we don’t always have time to put on gloves, so I believe with solid technique it is possible to do without gloves, but blood and bacteria really like each other so keeping things sterile is so so so very important. Thank you to all of the incredible vet nurses out there.

having your hands in the dogs mouth like that's a big no no! someone can get injured if that's how they hold. Dont want to sound rude! more training that's all.

It was sloppy. But I'm not gonna lie that I was any better when I first started.

your supposed to thread the catheter into the vein and take needle out of the once you get the flash not keep pushing needle in lol 😂 was this your first time? everything was so delayed lol and messy!!

As an oncology technician, this has been the worts ivc placement! D:

She’s not using the surgical scrub technique :/ basically grabbing all the bacteria from the left side of her shave job and spreading it over the right side of her shave job rather than doing the spiral like motion from the intended point of contact.

your wearing a scrub cap but not gloves?

her bevel wasnt even up ☹️️ and her tape job was terrible!! and also he let up too early and let the vein roll she's lucky her needle even stayed in the vein lol, hes supposed to let up after she's already fed the catheter in and is ready to pull the stylet out 😶 not before shes fed the catheter. ahhh idk how this is a training video, you should make a new one this ones bad

quiza está practicando, por eso lo hizo con tantos errores, pero si es así para que subirlo como demostración D: bueno, primer comentario en español jiji

E o uso de EPI? Cadê as luvas? Segurança para o animal e para o profissional.

Was that alcohol that you use to clean the site? If the alcohol is not dry that will hurt the poor doggy

Tutorial de como Não fazer um acesso venoso

Don't use tiny pieces of tape like this. It creates a tourniquet which causes swelling.

PLEASE, GLOVEEEES!

He is a good boy

you dont need gloves to place a catheter i place catheters like this at work all the time

i was here pas gère

Don't say "hard parts over" until hands are off.

come to srilanka best care animal hospital ....then you ll realize

Who taught her to tape?

And this is the technique being taught at a school?!?!?!?

Que chacina

nice

When does the restrained know to release pressure? Thanks!

Nice

Yipes. This should be used in schools to demonstrate incorrect technique. Poor girl, obviously just doing it how she was taught. (The audio and video quality very nice though )

There are so many things wrong with this....

isnt the blood all over the tape and the nurses hands gonna cause a health problem?

People may even use this video to sue them I think

error?

Good initiative but visuals can be better with constant camera position and better explanation

Please wear gloves, and remove the nail polish. This is the most unprofessional and unsanitary IV placement I have ever seen. Pet's right to quality care should be no less than the care we receive as humans. Wearing gloves and natural nails, helps in protecting the patient from infections. Also, the IV needle needs not to be inserted almost all the way in as you did, as you run the risk of going in and through the vessel, or even causing nerve damage. As an RN working with human patients, I can tell you that the sanitary rules and professionalism standards are no different between humans and pets. Animals are unable to advocate for themselves (in this case ask you to wear gloves and keep neutral nails), for this reason it is of the essence that we maintain the highest standards, we owe it to them.

..... what did I just watch?

ေအာအျပည့္ဗီြဒီယိုမ်ားသာ

wait what Lmao

Ugh that's so bloody 😭

Oh my goodness!.....sloppiest bloodiest horror pod a catheter placement I've ever seen in my 18 years in the bet world. That poor little baby! Bless that sweet little thing. Perfect example of how NOT to place a catheter! Yikes! 🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼

Por qué esa música tan desagradable? No va con el tema.

❤

Muy sucio el procedimiento.

You should absolutely be wearing gloves. It's a bad habit not to and shouldn't be taught

هلو

Omg! Sooo many mistakes here. You should not be demonstrating this procedure on the internet! BTW I’m a Registered Veterinary Technician with 25 years of experience 🐾

Wtf where tf are the gloves?!?! So glad i work in a hospital cant trust anyone with my babies.

Poor baby.....

Why no gloves? Isn't it mandatory?

I like her technique, my teacher taught me one it gets confusing.

1:57 that's why you use gloves

Omg.. that's so unsanitary! D: She's not even wearing gloves. Smh :/

Noooooo this is not a good way to put an IV in so many things wrong

that poor dog with the lady that doesn’t know what she’s doing

This vídeo should be deleted... For the good of ALL

Que sucia su técnica. Horrible.

Not correct
