Real case and solving real problems, thank you Dr. Admir!

As an EMT, your videos have helped far more than anything else I have participated in.

I always bend the needles when I set IVs. Find that chances of through and though puncture is less with the needle bent. But caution about bending too much, sometimes the stylet gets stuck and cannot be withdrawn and sometimes a flashback may not be visible. Sometimes the venous congestion can create a dusky hue of the skin that makes vein location difficult. Great technique.

The alcohol tip is under utilized. It has vasodilatory effects. As does heat.

Legendary stuff. Have used the reverse Esmarch technique multiple times in the ICU for long stay patients with edematous limbs who need peripheral venous access

please do pediatric difficult iv cannulation.., thanks

Good evening, how are you? Excellent video and interesting technique! I'm also an anaesthesiologist, and so I sometimes have to work with patients with difficult IV access. Are there any contraindications to using this technique, and there a maximum time time that the Esmarch can be left on while trying to secure venous access?

I ended up getting a port, after I ran out of usable veins. I’ve had 40+ surgeries in almost as many years, so all my veins are shot. The port is the best thing I’ve ever done!

@nysoravideo

6 ай бұрын

We are glad it worked for you, 40+ surgeries must have been tough, we really hope you won't have need for more surgeries and we wish you a successful and easy recovery.

So once you get flash, do you slightly retract the needle and then advance the catheter off of it? that's what it looks like in the video to me but just want to clarify. I have been slightly advancing the needle slightly and then threading the catheter off, but have hit a wall with advancing my IV cannulation skills.

What do you suggest if the vessel so deep into the muscle tissue. Would you suggest a guided ultra sound to attempt IV insertion?

I would use the other arm or start from distal to proximal, also the patient had the tourniquet for so long and that is very uncomfortable. But the technique was good tho

Hello. The video you uploaded this time was very helpful. Thank you. May I ask you a question? In this video, the moment the needle pokes into the blood vessel, you seem to turn the catheter slightly. I wonder if there's any reason.😊

Nice - but I don't like to have recent puncture sites proximal to the new puncture site due to risk of extravasation... (Thanks for all your educational efforts!)

Your videos are excellent! 33 years of starting IV's and it never occurred to me that the needle could be bent. I will be testing this with our new angiocaths to see if they will still retract into the safety chamber. If so, I'm putting this into practice.

Even during EJV cannulation we bend the needle so that it remains superficial

@NYSORA WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT TOURNIQUET, THAT'S A PATIENT HAD ON, RIGHT AT ABOUT A MINUTE AND 25 SECONDS, BEFORE YOU/OR SOMEONE ELSE, STARTED WRAPPING THEM UP TO FORCE THE BLOOD DOWN, TO GET AT LEAST EVERYTHING TO POP UP it was about @1:05, and I will love that wrapping up technique, I never thought about it, but that's covers like using like 10 tourniquets at one time, another thing I try to make sure they're warm, I usually put hot water and gloves, and then tie them up, or put heat compressors on them, those are in packets that you just pop,

Sir the technique is good. How can we try this in a cellulitis or where there's diffuse oedema of the limbs ? Once in a ckd case with generalised oedema I successfully gained iv at the dorsum but repeated pressure where slowly the vein becomes visible

That was the real case Truly no BS

We should build a sleeve pressure machine

I have used a similar technique to engorge the veins in my practice. I would discourage practitioners from using the veins within three finger width from the base of the wrist, as you could inadvertently damage nerves. And I agree with previous comments regarding contamination of insertion site. Don’t hesitate to call the vascular access nurse, we’re always happy to help😊

The wrist veins are significantly superficial to the median nerve and not close to the ulnar nerve. It would require great clumsyness to even contact the nerve, let alone cause significant injury.

Hi Brian. It is a mistake. It was not meant to spin, but the it span accidentally. No big deal, it is just that it does not look pretty on the video.

Agree with you. The hands were scrubbed with alcohol gel beforehand. But with IV access - you are always between the rock and the hard place - tough to make it all perfect in difficult situations. Gloves should be mandatory - but then - this would lead to more failures, and the GREEN folks would complain about the waste and the impact on the environment. Greetings!

Remember that unless you’re using a sterile field (which most IV starts aren’t), gloves are primarily for the protection of the practitioner, secondarily for the patient. Obviously, you want to keep it as clean as possible, but getting the IV started is more important.

I rarely use gloves (unless necessary) because to me, I think it's more difficult to palpate a nimble tender vein with gloves. I keep my hands well disinfected and they are more sterile than these open-box gloves that lie around open for days

Silly comment. This is generalised IV advice, most units don't have on hand ultrasounds and most RNs aren't cleared to use them anyway, not to mention developing nations where even anaesthesiologists may not have readily available equiptment for an US guided approach. Knowing how to troubleshoot problems in medicine is more important than relying on technology.
