Abstract

Reducing the number of needle sticks while placing IVs reduces the pain and suffering patients endure along with reducing frustration and saving time for health care providers. Presented here is a method of starting IVs based on 20 years of experience which has produced excellent results clinically measured by reduced needle sticks. The technique has also been successfully taught to other health care providers. This technique can be used in combination with vein visualization technology. The authors are happy to collaborate in a formal evaluation of the technique.
