This is called “chasing the bevel”, which we explain thoroughly in the Ultrasound IV Insertion Video Course. All my video courses are 30% off and come with continuing education! (Which often makes them eligible for reimbursement). Click the link in my profile or head to www.TheIVGuy.com/courses to learn more! . “Chasing the bevel” is done when the needle bevel enters the vein. As soon as you see it within the lumen, lower your angle of insertion, slide your probe away (proximal on the patient) a few millimeters, then advance your needle until you see it on the screen again, then slide the probe away, then advance again, all while keeping the bevel centered within the lumen of the vein. . This allows you to make sure there’s adequate catheter within the lumen, while visually confirming the needle has not entered the opposite wall. You can then set your probe down and thread your catheter. . #nurse #nursing #rn #rnlife #nurselife #instanursing #nurseproblems #nursingschool #nursingproblems #nursingschoolproblems #nursesofinstagram #nurses #studentnurse #nursingstudent #registerednurse #lvn #instanurse #nclex #nclexrn #nclexprep #nursingclinicals #clinicals #nursingschoolclinicals #nursingstudents #nursinglife #nclexreview #nclexpreparation #nclexquestions #peds #nicu

The DOUBLE TOURNIQUET! . I get more messages about success with this technique than anything else. Give it a shot! . The purpose of a tourniquet when starting IVs is to limit venous return without affecting arterial flow (in order to dilate the veins by filling them with blood). . Most of the time a single tourniquet will do the job just fine, but sometimes you need to compress more tissue in order to restrict venous return. This is true of patients with excessive edema, obesity, or loose skin (though my volunteer here has none of these issues). . Using two tourniquets one on top of the other will create more pressure, and won’t fold over on themselves, preventing pinching of loose or delicate skin. . The IV Video Course is still 30% off, with larger discounts for schools and facilities with 10 or more enrollments (same goes for the ultrasound, phlebotomy and peds courses). And all my courses come with continuing education, which often means they’re eligible for reimbursement from your employer!!!

When drawing blood, occasionally the vacuum will suck the vein wall against the bevel of the needle, abruptly stopping blood flow, or causing a sort of “vibration”. . If this happens, try pointing your needle downward or simply pressing straight down with your needle to release it from the vein wall. This should restore blood flow. . If blood flow is still not restored, make sure your hands aren’t obstructing flow from distal veins, then try a new tube ( as the current tube may not have had enough vacuum). . Phlebotomy For Nurses (plus the IV Video Course, ultrasound IV insertion, AND Pediatric Venipuncture) are all 30% off and come with CEUs!!!

30 seconds seems like FOREVER, and in nursing time it kinda is... but it's worth it to protect our patients from infection when starting an IV. . INS standards state that an IV site should ideally be scrubbed with chlorhexidine gluconate in alcohol for a full 30 seconds in an up-and-down, side-to-side motion. This pattern helps kill the bacteria in the micro fissures in the skin (if you look closely, this is how skin grows, and these can be deeper and more obvious in some people). The site should be at least 2"x2". . Not only does chlorhexidine kill bacteria, it actually prevents bacterial and fungal growth for at least 48 hours. . #nurse #nursing #rn #rnlife #nurselife #instanursing #nurseproblems #nursingschool #nursingproblems #nursingschoolproblems #nursesofinstagram #nurses #studentnurse #nursingstudent #registerednurse #lvn #instanurse #nclex #nclexrn #nclexprep #nursingclinicals #clinicals #nursingschoolclinicals #nursingstudents #nursinglife #nclexreview #nclexpreparation #nclexquestions #peds #nicu

How to tie a tourniquet! . This is a simple one, but can make all the difference. Too often I see nurses struggling to palpate a vein and find that their tourniquet is barely sitting on top of the patient’s skin. This’ll get you nowhere in a hurry. . The point of a tourniquet is to cut off venous return without effecting arterial supply. It needs to be tight but not TOO tight. My advice is to make it hurt (just a little), and then it’s probably just right. . Place your tourniquet flat behind the patient’s arm, 4-6” above where you want to palpate. Stretch one side tight with your dominant hand, then grab it with your nondominant hand and hold it in place while you stretch the other side tight. Then take that end and tuck it from the top down under the other end. This holds them in place while keeping the tourniquet ends out of your venipuncture site. . To remove the tourniquet, pull straight up on BOTH ends. If you pull just one, the other end can end up smacking you or the patient in the face (ask me how I know 😉). . If you want to learn everything you need to know to start IVs, check out the IV Video Course! It’s 30% off (as are all my courses)!

First, a quick reminder that all my courses (the IV Video Course, Pediatric Venipuncture, ultrasound IV Insertion, and Phlebotomy for Nurses) are 30% off right now! They each come with 2-4 CEs, so in many cases they’re eligible for reimbursement from your employer! Click the link in my profile or go to www.theivguy.com/courses to learn more. . I know some people get nervous about patients with hairy arms, so I have two solutions for you. . First, you can simply shave the area with an ELECTRIC razor (bladed razors increase the chance of infection). Just make sure to palpate the area for a good vein first. This will not only help you visualize the area, but will help the dressing adhere and lengthen the time between dressing changes. . The second option is to simply ignore the hair! Completely put it out of your mind and go solely by feel (which you should be doing anyway) when palpating. The needle will have no trouble going through hair, trust me. . But of course if you think it will be a real challenge for dressing placement or longevity, please, shave away! . This clip is also a great example of lowering the insertion angle after getting flash. This is done because flash happens when the bevel of the needle is in the vein, but since the catheter sits just behind the bevel it is often still in the wall of the vein when you first see flash. Pause, reduce your angle of insertion, advance another 2-6mm (depending on gauge), then thread your catheter. . #nurse #nursing #rn #rnlife #nurselife #instanursing #nurseproblems #nursingschool #nursingproblems #nursingschoolproblems #nursesofinstagram #nurses #studentnurse #nursingstudent #registerednurse #lvn #instanurse #nclex #nclexrn #nclexprep #nursingclinicals #clinicals #nursingschoolclinicals #nursingstudents #nursinglife #nclexreview #nclexpreparation #nclexquestions

Here's another example of a tip I give a lot. The "Flash-pause-lower-advance-thread" technique. When you first get flash, the bevel of the needle is in the lumen of the vein. If you thread the catheter from here, you'll likely blow the vein as the end of the catheter may still be in the wall of the vein (it sits BEHIND the bevel of the needle). When you see flash, pause, lower your angle of insertion, advance another 2-6mm depending on gauge, THEN thread the catheter. This will make absolutely sure the catheter is within the lumen of the vein before threading and limit your chances of blowing it. . This clip is straight out of the IV Video Course, which is currently 30% off and comes with continuing education! The fact that it comes with CEUs from an ANCC accredited provider means it's likely eligible for reimbursement from your employer, making the course FREE!

The Pediatric Venipuncture Course is 30% off (so are all my courses right now 😉), and comes with 4 CEUs!!! Because my courses come with CEUs, they’re often eligible for reimbursement from your employer, just talk to your manager and maybe you can get a course for FREE! Click the link in my profile or head to www.theivguy.com/courses to learn more. . Here we’re demonstrating a hold on an infant during IV insertion in the forearm. Having a capable assistant is one of the most important aspects of pediatric venipuncture. They not only help hold the limb still, they can also help open supplies, and generally act as a second hand (since you’ll likely be holding the baby’s limb still with your other hand). . In this patient population it’s important to start IVs as low as possible, then work your way up if the IV loses patency. . And yes, I do realize the tourniquet isn’t very tight and the “baby” isn’t moving, there’s only so much realism we can accomplish with models 😉 . #nurse #nursing #rn #rnlife #nurselife #instanursing #nurseproblems #nursingschool #nursingproblems #nursingschoolproblems #nursesofinstagram #nurses #studentnurse #nursingstudent #registerednurse #lvn #instanurse #nclex #nclexrn #nclexprep #nursingclinicals #clinicals #nursingschoolclinicals #nursingstudents #nursinglife #nclexreview #nclexpreparation #nclexquestions #peds #nicu
