    Great video but I was always taught when you see blood return release the tourniquet never flush with it on.

    This video was really helpful! Doing IV insertion and removal test off today. And for those saying she spoke too fast you can change the speed under playback settings so they are faster/slower.

    I “lose”the vein once I feel it & can’t see it when I go to put needle in… then have to keep feeling for it. Very aggravating. It’s easier when you see the veins

      The tape isn't going to touch a key site. On top of that, the tape isn't sterile to start with. The dressing needs to stay sterile but the tape doesn't.

  • @lloydwallace477
    @lloydwallace477 2 роки тому +11

    You need to release the tourniquet before flushing. Geriatric patient veins will not tolerate this extra volume. You can "pop" your vein, thus needing to start an IV in a new location.

      It does matter! you should release the torniquet before flashing otherwise will burst the vein.

    I was practicing an iv yesterday and I got flash back from my needle, kept trying to advance my catheter but it wouldn’t advance and it was causing dimpling over the vein and my classmate complained of pain. Did I advance the catheter too early? Or did I not go deep enough with the needle? Thanks! Great video!

    • @koyals.7159
      @koyals.7159 2 роки тому +8

      Likely not deep enough with the needle! That was my problem as well, u just gotta be confident and poke the skin and vein in one motion ❤️ u got this tho!! Remember: poke at 30, lower needle flush to skin, then advance the needle in a bit more, and then thread in the catheter all the way! If u thread the catheter too early, it might've not been in the vein fully and bunched up in the skin tissue instead.

    • @Nerakfrog
      @Nerakfrog 2 роки тому +3

      That's probably because you didn't advance enough. When you get the flash, drop your needle, and you need to bump in like 1mm. That angles the cath in right. Then, you should be able to slide the cath in.
