seems like a competent nurse. I would need a lot of practice if applicable.
I had 5 punctures and she still miss my vein and I had to swarp arms to get my blood taken. Amerture! Bruised the next day. 😮 There will always be good and bad skill workers what ever the trade. With medical your life is in their hands if they mess up.
Hello can you please explain what I do with the positive and negative control solutions please as I have no idea?
This Video has completely changed my life, Thank You sooooo much Yes this was Very Helpful ❤ 🩸
Is it normal for a nurse to adjust the needle after plunging it into my vein? A nurse was moving the needle in and out of my vein... the needle was still inside but she was going back and forth in my vein with the needle ( I thought it was weird ) now when i move my arms, i can feel a little snap in the are She punctured me
If she had done it gently then there should be no issue but if it's one where she kept pulling out and then trying again it might be an issue referred to as "fishing". I'm still practicing Phlebotomy so I'm not the best reference so I suggest speaking to your nurses for your next checkup and ask if there is anything wrong.
Most nurses don't know how to do when i wanna test my blood. I have to do it myself to give my blood for the test. Drug users are better than nurses at injection
Thank you mam🙏
i went for my typhoid injection today and the nurse did it in wrong way the syringe was filled with blood as well as there were lot of blood on skin i’m not the person who is afraid of injections so i was calm but man it hurts a lot 😢 and the head nurse was telling her assistant you should have put it little deeper as if i was a subject of experiment 😢
Thank you so much. I had 2 bad draws recently.
Thanks ma"am now i will do fast my always too slow and bleeding out.
Thank you
What about redirecting? Shouldn’t you pull the needle to the surface to redirect? My daughter just had her blood attempted to be drawn and I felt that the phlebotomist put the needle too deep then was dramatically redirecting with the needle all the way inside. Please let me know if I am correct in thinking that this is wrong. Thanks.
You don't want to fully withdraw the needle to reposition because that will contaminate the tip of the needle, so you wouldn't want to reinsert it. The contamination can lead to injection or alter test results. Instead, you can try repositioning a bit, but not too much, or the vein can be injured. If in doubt, I find it's best to withdraw the needle, bandage the puncture site, and try again with a whole new needle at a different site.
Thanks for the comment though, it's a good question!
needle size is too big in the picture
Usually when I inject patients with 300mg of diladid I go for a °97 angle.. as they won't care so much after only a couple minutes.. or at all, or alive... I can't believe I read and heard stories of nurses offing patients, like dozens of them.. I think one nurse killed like over a 100... so f'n crazy
well explained. Thank you.
Thank you sooooooo much I really needed this I draw blood the other day the blood sample was rejected by the Lab due to Hemolyzed I really need to avoid this from happening again. My name is Lorescia how can I get a one one one class with you
Thanks
На русском языке можно говорить ? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Where did you get that arm?
How easy is it to accidentally cut the vein in half?
Thank you so much for making this video. I'm already trained in venipuncture, but no one explained any of this to me before. They just taught me how to do it, but not why a hematoma happens or why I was too deep.
Ex heroin addict and I only injected a few times I was terrified of all the variables problems that could occur just wasn’t worth the even greater high at the time great informative video though
I came here to see if the dipstick is supposed to SIT in the fluid for 5 minutes or pulled out and wait to develop for 5 minutes. The instructions aren’t clear and neither is this video. Anyone know??
Hello can you please explain what I do with the positive and negative control solutions please as I have no idea?
I have the same question?
@ALEX BURY @IV’ERS I am new to IV drugs and have issues with needle depth. If I go in at 30 degrees. How deep do I put the needle in before I start pulling back to check if I am drawing blood? I am using a 29G U100 needle with a 1/2inch tip. I am also injecting into the arm crook or forearm. Another thing is when injecting myself should I have needle tip on the skin or 1/2 inch away from skin when going to penetrate?
I have look at alot of videos this is the best one. Most don’t show exactly how 30 degrees looks like.
thank you, i missed so much of my veins till now, and i didn't even filter the tablets till now, i will never again not filter te tabslets i inject
Incredibly insightful and useful video.
I will say my nurses had fun as well as labtechs last month while. I was in hospital. I went in for catheter ablation got my pre-op two IVs in both hands. Then they put an ALine after I was asleep. I ended up going into cardiac arrest CPR intubated etc. I ended up with lots of lab work and medical intervention. I had shots of heparin in my belly. I'm normally on a blood thinner -Eliquis ( held day of surgery of course per Dr orders). I was black and blue everywhere lots of black bruising on arms groin belly. Is that from technique or my taking blood thinners pre op and or from heparin shots over my 4 days in ICU and CCU. I wish I could post photos
super helpful
Is there any way to tell once your completely in...as blood when you draw back not enough as demonstrated?
I'm a nurse student and with experience I wish I can find out the vein so fast and appropriate so I don't hurt people . It happens to my dad they make him bruised like crazy because of a student 😭
You clear all my doubts Thank you for such an amazing video
Mam , Why we do insert needle upper postion not below position in arm
That was helpful
Thanks 😊
Thank you
Can this information be used with dogs
thank you so much for the video explaining the do's and don't's, i"m a visual learner and this was very helpful! :)
A fucking animation; really!?
Your videos are very useful. Thank you.
Its helpful thanks
Thank you so much for this video! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm a nurse at a skilled nursing facility, been a nurse for 6 months, and I was practically at the point where I just want to quit nursing because I cannot get venipuncture down! I have told my colleagues I just need someone to watch me do it, that I'm not even asking others to do my job, I just need someone to watch me and tell me what I'm doing wrong.. your video has helped me so much to realize my mistakes, and I'm actually excited for my next chance to try and get this right! Like I'm literally almost in tears, I'm so happy I found this video
I'm having trouble getting a vein
Same here I want to quit because i also feel Iam not good at this
Stacey Arey, venupuncture is a skill and it takes practice to learn. The more you do it, the better you will get. What helped me was making it a practice to feel the vein not just looking for it. You can do this by applying a tourniquet on your own arm and feeling the difference between the vein and non vein spaces. Watch for the ones that move and do not use those this is called the roll test. What you can do is ask to follow an er nurse or emt for a day or more and do all of their iv insertions most facilities will allow you to schedule this in. Practice makes perfect! DO NOT beat your self up, REMEMBER it takes a year to learn how to be a nurse. You’re going to get this!!
It made me kind of happy to see this bc so many nurses don't know how to do it and I go home with 4-5 marks on my arms and some trauma tbh it hikes my anxiety through the roof to go get any blood work and I wish more nurses were like you and took steps to actually learn how to do it better... 😊😊🎉
Strep species are Gram +
I'm a drug addict 25+ years. Now i can finally use it through injection. Thanks a lot. I hope i won't die. Its on you! Oh no!! Just kidding. Thanks for the tip
a few of my only working veins are superficial meaning the vein is basically right under the skin so I tell all nurses before hand so they don't poke shit outta me all my other veins don't register at all. twice they had to get a radiologist to guide the needle into vein with help of ultrasound. yea I'm definitely a hard stick
Discouraging
Nice video.
What is the safety device?
Depends on the type of catheter, some retract, some like the Brauns have a sheet/covering that cover the end of needle. I use the BD Insyte BC blood control caths since you don’t have to worry about holding tamponade, and they retract into themselves.
5:55... If not getting blood wants the needles there...
