Great video but I was always taught when you see blood return release the tourniquet never flush with it on.
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
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 don’t agree with putting the tape on the side rail. Exposure to infection at the site .

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.

Can you please upload a video that demonstrates how to draw blood from an iv site using a vacutainer tube for Iab tests? It would be greatly helpful. 🙂
Excellent job you make nursing look easy.
Shouldn't you remove the tourniquet BEFORE flushing the vein?🤔

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

I think your speed is perfect. Right to the point and wasted no time. Thank you!
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.

Nah, not a big deal
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

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.

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.

Make sure your flash goes to the hub.
Yep, put the tape on the side rail so you can risk the patient of contracting infection

The tapes not sterile nor does it need to be. The tapes not over the sterile site. Why pretend like you know what you’re talking about?
I just have never had the confidence to keep trying! Anything else, I'm good at, including phlebotomy but IV's and I just don't get along!? I've been a Nurse longer than I want to say!

I love her!
Thanks 😊
At the end you should secure the catheter in a loop on patients hand to prevent it from flying around and banging into things, u prob just forgot to mention it and demonstrate it.

I don’t agree with keeping the tourny on while you scrub. Tourney should be in less than 1 min

Doesn’t make a difference but okay
Too bad the camera is so far most of the time . Would have been nice to focus on what she is doing . We don’t need to see the patient or the whole room
I thought this video was just ok. I understand verbally what you are saying but really we didn't get to see exactly what you were doing, which just made this video a podcast.
Before flushing ,take off the tourniquet 1st.🤗
She could easily get a needle stick this way. Dont just throw the needle like this 🤨 And i would wish for once to see a vein so obvious on a chemo pt 🙂
