  • This is a live demonstration of intravenous (IV) cannulation.
    These are a lot of the things i wish i knew before inserting my first needle.
    This was my first video recorded in 2012! unfortunately I didn't have all the usual set up so am using a full sterile set, when this is not needed.
    Please focus on the technique rather than the specifics of Aseptic non touch technique that we all adhere to now.
    Thanks for watching!!!

    Dude the "blunt portion of upper canula" pearl regarding flattening your needle blew my mind. Makes so much more sense, especially with the visual. Thanks!

      I know right! Someone taught me that back in 2005 as a medical student and revolutionized my ‘cannulation career’

      @@ABCsofAnaesthesia For sure! I'm an EM resident and we're fortunate to have great nurses at our shop for most IV's, but I definitely need these skills if I'm ever in the jungle or something... I look forward to watching the rest of your videos, and thanks for all your help and teaching!

    Could you do videos on cannulating w/ darker skinned patients, as well as edematous patients, and patients with fragile veins (elderly, dialysis patients, etc.)?

      @samahnasser87 3 роки тому +62

      I go by feel so not by look. So by that, a dark skin person would be no different. My skills are with the elderly. They can be rough. Their veins blow too. I am most successful when I keep their skin tight as I advance. They may need more attempts. If they are really skinny, there might be a delicious on in the bicep area.

      @bndanto3207 2 роки тому +11

      Use 70% alcohol, put it on your compress and once your tourniquet is tight enough, apply the compress and tap over it.
      If you're really struggling because your patient is in a sepsis or even in shock, you still have the little wrist veins if you need emergency antibiotics or drugs. Btw if you can't have a peripheric vein, the doctor may have the skill to get a jugular catheter.
      My technique, if it is really difficult because of a sepsis or hypotension, is to watch on legs (if there is nothing on forearms, elbow, or biceps or shoulder), put a little catheter to use paracetamol and other medications (or even the time the person warms up), and then when the veins come back I can have it on the arms

      Quick tip for cannulating the oedematous. Squeeze the site tightly for a few seconds with your the palm of your hand and milk out the fluid. You'll be surprised how well this moves the fluid away just long enough for you to spot a juicy vein.

    I used to work post-op surgery and switched to intra-op (sedation) then back to pre/post-op, meaning that I have switched from being quite rusty in my IV skills to needing them basically 24/7.... I have to say, THIS video is the ONLY one I have found to be the most helpful and accurate. He literally includes every tip/trick a practitioner needs to refresh their IV skills rapidly. Thank you! Literally the BEST.

    As nursing apprentice I was in anesthesia pre op for 2 weeks and tried several times. From like 12 times I could try during that time I was successful 5 times. I am happy my last try was a success.
    I watched several tutorials but I wish I had seen THIS video in advance. Pretty sure I would have been more successful. Oh and btw: We have Braun cannulas that stop bloodflow after extraction of the needles in hospital. Pretty convenient.
    Looking forward to get the chance to try again.
