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

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!!!

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!!!

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

All my video courses are 30% off with larger discounts on “bundles”, AND they all come with continuing education! If you want to learn how to insert and maintain peripheral IVs and/or draw blood, just click the link in my profile or head to www.theivguy.com/courses 😊 . IV removal isn’t complicated, but I see it done wrong way too often. If done incorrectly it hurts (ask me how I know 😉), and can cause further damage to the vein. . When discontinuing an IV, first remove all tape and dressings. If the patient has fragile skin or a statlock was used, alcohol will help prevent skin tears. Rub the edges with a stack of alcohol pads, then continue rubbing under the dressings as you remove them. . When all the tape/dressings are removed from the skin, fold a stack of gauze twice and hold it over the insertion site. DO NOT PUT PRESSURE DOWN UNTIL THE CATHETER IS COMPLETELY REMOVED. . Pull the catheter out slowly (faster is not less painful), and as soon as it exits the skin, put pressure down with your gauze. . Inspect the catheter to ensure that it is intact. If it isn’t, or you suspect that a piece of catheter was left in the patient, contact the physician. . Place a piece of tape crosswise over the gauze, stretching each side slightly before securing it to the skin. This will create a sort of pressure dressing and prevent bruising and bleeding from the site. . #theivguy #ivstart #nurse #nursing #rn #rnlife #nurselife #instanursing #nurseproblems #nursingschool #nursingproblems #nursingschoolproblems #nursesofinstagram #nurses #studentnurse #nursingstudent #registerednurse #lvn #instanurse #nclex #nclexrn #nclexprep #nursingclinicals #clinicals #nursingschoolclinicals #nursingstudents

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 original IV video course was updated last year and has new content added to meet the revised INS Standards of Practice. This kind of update will happen periodically when new standards are released or new best practices are identified. If you buy any of my courses, you’ll have lifetime access to any updated material I add in the future 😊 . There’s a whole section on pain management including topical and injectable lidocaine, vein marking techniques, and a few new full-length demonstrations! The brand new ultrasound course has a large section on pain management as well and focuses on injectable lidocaine. Check it out by clicking the link in my profile or head to www.theivguy.com/courses (they’re all 30% off and come with CEUs!!!) . Pain associated with venipuncture is often overlooked in the adult population, but is still extremely important and we need to do what we can to reduce pain as much as possible, whenever possible. . Topical anesthetic can be an easy, effective method of doing so, though it does take some extra time. . Palpate for a couple appropriate vessels, apply topical anesthetic and cover with a transparent dressing for 30-45 minutes. Go do some other tasks, then come back and perform your venipuncture. Your patients will thank you 😊 . If you found this helpful, all my video courses are 30% off!!!

This is a simple one, but still a question I get a LOT. Why can’t I thread the catheter after I see flash? . One of the most common mistakes I see is when someone gets flash, they immediately try to thread the catheter. This is going to cause problems because the moment you see flash, the catheter is not yet in the lumen of the vein, it’s still in the wall. . You’re seeing flash because the BEVEL is inside the vein, but if you look closely at your IV needle you’ll notice the catheter actually sits just behind the bevel. If you attempt to thread the catheter now, it will pull on the wall of the vein and often blow it if enough force is exerted. . When you get flash, pause, lower the angle of your needle, advance another 2-6mm (less with smaller gauges, more with larger ones), THEN thread your catheter. This one little tip will increase your success rate dramatically. . The idea is that when you reduce the angle and advance further, you’re inserting the needle up the lumen of the vein. This is even more important with larger gauges, and inserting at a slightly shallower angle may help as well (it should help prevent the tip of the needle from puncturing the other side of the vein). . Also, entering the skin swiftly can reduce pain. When palpating try to estimate how deep the vein is and insert your needle to that depth in one swift, smooth motion. . The IV Video Course (along with all my other courses) is 30% off for the duration of the pandemic, with larger discounts for bundled courses and group purchases of 10 or more.
