https://f.mtr.cool/csitkoxrin On assessment the first arm didn't have a favorable vein to puncture for ultrasound guided peripheral iv piv insertion because of the nerve bundle covering the left brachial vein and the muscle covering the right brachial vein. I try not to puncture the muscle if I can avoid it but will do it in special circumstances. I checked the contralateral arm and as you can see it had a much more viable vein for ultrasound guided peripheral iv piv insertion. Seeing the structures but missing the needle tip? Try fanning the probe! Changing the probe’s angle makes the needle easier to visualize and ensures a safer, more precise entry. Here's the secret: Fan the ultrasound probe to be perpendicular to the object your are trying to visualize. #vascularaccess #TVG #nurse #doctor #butteflynetwork iq+ ultrasound probe was used for this procedure
