Catheter 18 gage

[mormonhippie]

I hate it when that happens!

[chardmb]

angle too high, introduction too fast, patient's elbow was bent, touched the actual prick site and didn't removed the tourniquet before removing the needle

[icemom09]

What do the gages mean?

[trynottocryjaypee]

[immortal598]

I put 18's in 90% of my patients

[icemom09]

So the smaller the number the bigger the needle?

looks like he went through the vein, no venous return after the intial flashback even when the tourniquet was still on.

[ssllaaddee]

Going through the vein means "Blowing the vein" altho if he did Blow the vein you would definitely know, even in the video.

he would have done it if the client was lying supine with his arm stretched or if he didn't insert too close on the antecubital fossa.

Not trying to be mean, but that is actually a 18gauge catheter. Standard color for 18G is green, if it were a 16 it would be gray.

[ssllaaddee]

Thanks ...i couldnt remember if it was a 16 or 18.

[immortal598]

18's are green, 16's are grey,
