  • what gauge needle is used for Jugular IV's?

  • She is using an 18 here, I think because she is being nice! lol. In reality, I would use the biggest needle I could get away with.

  • We were not allowed or even shown this skill in any medic class iv taken they always say there is too much of a risk of an air embolism

  • Wow, if you don't mind me asking, what area do you work in? I know that we are going away from EJ's in preference of IO's, but I still prefer them for someone who is in compensating shock and you can not get a more pereferal vein, over the IO. There seem to be just as many or more possible complications with drilling into someone's bone.

  • is this american medical response ?(AMR)

  • Nope, it's Foothill College Paramedic Program, on lab day.

  • O cara é muito corajoso!!! Sou enfermeiro intervencionista no Brasil, trabalho no SAMU . Eu não deixaria....

  • heroin injectors running out of veins, please take careful notes

  • what would happen if you accidently got the carotid artery

  • brave soul!! :) you can usually use a bigger gauge... mostly used for burn victims or sorts... they aren't going to complain

  • @ne014x Yes. Idealy the patient should be laying supine with the head of the bed tilted downward. That way the risk of sucking in air in to the vein by moving or breathing is minimized.

  • @PangOlle So the risk is there its just minizied by keeping the pt supine while the line is inserted and running?

  • It aint gotta be sterile just clean right lmao. 

  • I just finished their EMT program

  • @Oletos7j

    arteries are not as superficial as veins. also, when palpating (feeling) for a vein, if its actually an artery you'll feel a pulse anyway. i don't know of anyone ever mistaking the two

  • What if you hit an artery and not a vein?
