I am currently in paramedic school and this video is awesome, really helps me see the different techniques that everyone uses.

Pure demonstration and zero waffling. Great job!

This is a very helpful, informative tutorial video!. Thanks for sharing! All the Best.

you guys are really the best on the net hands down! It would be amazing if you guys would do a first aid series for medical students one day. That would be awesome with your clear style. ))

Straight to the point 👍🏼! This is simply comprehensible.💕

interesting since your cannula and techniques are so different to what we are taught at uni! good to learn and observe different techniques tho, awesome video :)

Cleanest video I found on this topic ❤️

This is so great and helpful for my return demonstration tomorrow ❤

Watching this after I failed so many times with IV insertion😔

I was dreading having a cannula inserted in my arm yesterday, but the nurse did it without me even feeling anything! I was aware that she was cleaning the site with a swab and that was that! Im a complete baby when it comes to needles. Bless that nurse, Gina at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth.

Yep, really depends on the person inserting your cannula! My veins are very small, so I already know which specific people in the hospital I frequent are good at cannulation and what their position in the hospital is. The best one I ever got was from a Senior oncology nurse. Barely felt it! He was going to use a big needle but noticed how tiny my veins looked and switched to a smaller one. It was so quick! I owe him my life. I'm so grateful, I'd give him my kidney if he asked. I got way too many bad experiences with cannulation that I make sure to remember the good ones. When I watched this video, I was like "Lies! It is painful!" But then i remembered that oncology nurse and realized maybe i just had poorly skilled people doing my cannulation.

@@KatJ3st Same! Mine was a hospitalist who put it in too deep i think cuz it hurt A LOT. I got a doctor who was recommended by my anesthesiologist to do it (unclear if she's also an anesthesiologist or an experienced resident) She used the same size of needle as the hospitalist. She inserted it twice since the first one wasn't successful and both were not as painful as the hospitalist. I wrote her name down and would specifically ask for her after that. If a doctor can insert a needle in me twice without me being in a lot of pain, that means she got skill. I also think it's also because she showed restraint. When she was unsuccessful, she immediately took the needle out instead of forcing it to work by needling my vein like a sewing project. Needling usually HURTS A LOT. That and blowing a vein.

I appreciate the teaching that it is a sterile procedure

@@zedara5364 Seconding this! Sometimes they just use the needle that's in front of them. You, as the patient, can request for a smaller one. The cannulas for surgery typically are bigger but if all you need is hydration and IV meds then a smaller needle is ok. And if you still need surgery, you can actually get the bigger cannula inserted during your surgery with anesthetic and with anesthesiologists who are supposed to be better at inserting a cannula. Plus with a smaller needle, you can get hydration which, if you were dehydrated prior, can make your veins bigger, making bigger needle insertions much easier during your surgery.

what a great video! I'll watch your videos guys until I get my md

I don't know how many doctors are this meticulous whilst inserting a cannula... probably none that I have seen, maybe a new F1 till he gets confident around the wards😁..good video

Thanks sir 😊

Can you do a video which troubleshoots all the cannula related problems? As an intern a problem I faced was after the second blood flash, when you insert the cannula & push saline, it would generally bulge out or there would be resistance. Thanks

@g-smith4466

6 жыл бұрын

Personally i waited until the blood filled up the entire flashback chamber before i push in the catheter and pulled out the needle simultaneously with one hand.I am not sure how does letting bloodfilling it entirely first helps but I read from somewhere it does and from personal experience.

@turell1478

Not in the vein in that case.

@romz5330

Жыл бұрын

The cannula must have been inserted into the vein, but perhaps the cannula was further advanced without retracting the needle. The danger in this is that the needle might advance past the vein, hence the initial siting of blood but on pushing the saline a bulge appears along with pain. The cannula has essentially gone into the vein and past it into the surrounding tissue

Thanks

I’m a medical student and I can’t wait to do this 🥹🤲

Bravo et bonne continuation 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

Thanku for this video

I need to do this today and I’m terrified

tbh when im starting an IV I prefer to use the 10ml so i got some room to play with if i gotta float pasta valve

Very nice

Thanks a lot bruv

OkAY! Great video as always. ^^ Questions?- 1. If.. Per-say... That after we remove the introducer needle.. then suddenly we flush the cannula then there's a bump in the patient vein. Why did that happen? 2. Most appropriate cannulation site for peadeatric patient is where? 3. How many times a nurse can cannulate on the same patient.. per-say if they already failed 2-3 times? Do we change to another nurse or call the doctor?

@geekymedics

+Stefanie Alison Hi Stefanie! It's difficult to help with questions 2 and 3, it would be best to follow your own hospital guidelines. However a bump in the vein after flushing a cannula sounds like the cannula might not have gone in properly, meaning it has "tissued". This is where the fluid goes into the extravascular space rather than the vein, and it forms a bump under the skin. In these cases the cannula should be removed and discarded. Hope that helps!

I have reached the point where I can cannulate successfully, but I often end up making a huge mess with the blood! Any advice for me?

You need to include where the needle face(hole) is, whether it's facing up or down.

I've been watching this Andrew guy on off for months... I wonder how he's getting on as a Dr :D

How much of the needle do you withdraw when observing for secondary flashback

13th December 1989?! James is a Swiftie

At 2:21 , the hand holding the introducer is hidden from the video. The crucial step of displaying how to hold on to the Introducer and how to slide the sheath in the vein is missing . I guess every beginner should learn this step and make it a perfect art.

Merci

Good information

Thankyou so much Love to you from Pakistan

Very good vidio

Hi i am so like your work you are professor in this but i wanna ask you how can i be control on my hand when but cannula 😭 because when i but it for someone i failure plz someone help me 💔💔

I have a cannula in and keep in mind I'm 11 so this might be normal but my bandages are THICK like as if I broke all the bones in my hand is this so I don't pull it out because its covered in bandages and tape.

Some of the hospitals have a huge triangular tape, some of the hospitals stick a lot of type..

You should learn to advance the cannula one handed. Makes things a lot easier

Good ❤️❤️

good

Every time james 😊😊😊😊

What’s Andrew the legend up to nowadays?

13 December 1989 that's Taylor Swift's birthday 🤣

Haha won't be painful... try putting in a "grey"/ 16g cannula in someone 😂👍😉 I did like this video though! (i like all these videos) - it's a great aid! (skin prep could have been better though) I liked the disclaimer but I think you could have put more detail in with some emphasis on ANTT and "key parts". It was brilliant that you found an actual volunteer... I actually thought you were going to skip to a "dummy" arm but it was brill that you didn't! xx

+Heva Kins Yes indeed, large cannulas can be quite painful, but for a grey cannula the advice would generally be to use local anaesthetic if possible due to the level of discomfort without. Thanks for the feedback regarding ANTT also, we may do a video discussing ANTT in more detail at some point, it's on the list! Hope the video was useful Heva.

He is using what i believe ( looking at the cannula anyway) is a modern cannula from Braun with a passive safety shield, once the needle/ introducer is withdrawn completely it closes preventing flash back of blood, it opens when it comes in contact with a syringe tip or the connector point of an IV line. It helps minimize / eliminates blood loss and also reduces the risk of infection.. Imagine a bicycle valve..

Yes in the video we wanted to show that if you're preparing a flush (or any injectable medication) you should be wearing gloves. Sometimes you'll prepare the flush prior to the patient encounter and therefore you may put on gloves to prepare the flush, then remove them and later don gloves prior to insertion of the cannula. Sorry if that was confusing.
