1. We need to use the right size of catheter for the size of person…adult should have a 20 to 18 G catheter…kids 24 to 22G…small adult may use a 22G..
2. NEXT..secure the cath as soon as you get it in use stopper at top of cannula needle to close it off .use a typical looped x tape to secure it…then a piece straight across..to secure it…wrap and secure it with Cling…should be good..also clean with alcohol and use gloves maybe some triple antibiotic oinement to stop phlebitis…good graphics..
I used to draw blood and was trained to insert IV's (just basic skills, nothing complicated). I also have been in the hospital quite a bit because I have acute hepatic porphyria and asthma. Time and time again, I will be in the ER and need an IV, and they go in at too high an angle – so it will fail or not even go in at all. Do nurses take offense at a patient asking if they would insert the needle more parallel to the skin?
Ohhh so thsts why my arm was absolutely killing me 3 days ago in the hospital i kept complaining about it and they didn't take it out till i git discharged even though i had a better on e in my other arm 🥲
Whenever ive gotten an iv, they "replaced" the metal needle with a bendy plastic one that allows more movement, and i feel like that would also decrease the risk of this happening? Anybody know the difference between leaving the metal needle vs the plastic tube?

They are not big enough for the vein and soon after the catheter is the right position it should be stabilizaed imidetly.

If your subcutaneous tissue is that deep you're better off doing a venous cutdown
