when establishing vascular access one should date and time when a cannula was inserted (special sticker comes with a dressing). as we all know peripheral cannulae shoud be replaced every 72 hrs to reduce the risk of infection. thank you.
@peter26london What a load of rot - studies have shown infection rates don't increase with prolonged canulation. I'm glad you aren't looking after me!
@whcscomlat Yellow Jelco's (24ga) are best for children because the lumen is bigger and tougher so infusions don't get occluded (and alarm, causing the treatment to be paused until a nurse responds) as easily, and they're radiolucent so if a child is pre-theatre/OR then they won't need to be recannulated for a CT or MRI in emergencies or last minute pre-op radiography. They're also plastic so children can't hurt themselves if they decannulate (which angry/frightened children often do).
Thank you for this video. I have been looking for good cannulation videos and I finally found one.

Very good demonstation. I think you have done very well. I think 22 ga cannula is perfect for the IV antibiotics as it mentioned in the video.

the tube was primed with normal saline before being attached to the cannula. :)

Did you flush the extension tube prior to applying it to the cannula so as to expel any air in the system????

Nice video, but I think it's not indicated to use a 22 GA iv catheter! It's for children or very bad veins.
But good video: nice preparation and explanation :)
