Finding Veins for US-guided IV's Part 2

Two days ago I told you how I find arm veins for ultrasound-guided IV's.  Today, I'll walk you through what to do when you can't find any arm veins (which honestly, is rare).  Then I summarize how to approach the patient with difficult IV access.  Check it out!  If you are interested in an online ultrasound fellowship, check out ultrasoundleadershipacademy.com!

Finding Veins for US-guided IV's

I recently had a question on the website asking how to find veins when its not super cut-and-dry.  In part 1, I'll talk to you about how to find veins in the arm. In part 2, I'll talk about alternatives to arm veins (part 2 will be published in a few days).  Check it out!   If you are interested in an online ultrasound fellowship, check out ultrasoundleadershipacademy.com!

How to Tape IV's

Even if I work my fastest, it still takes me a few minutes to place my ultrasound-guided IV's. Because of this, I would rather not have to place multiple IV's when they pop out. I have a particular way of taping my IV's to make sure they don't come out. Check out my technique and let me know what you think!
