Product Description
From the Basics to Advanced techniques
3rd Edition for 2016 is New and Greatly Expanded with over 120 pages of text, graphics and illustrations to help you start IVs!
Intravenous cannulation is one of the most difficult skills most RNs, LVNs and EMTs will learn. If you are scared out of your mind about starting IVs, you are not alone. It is an invasive and often painful procedure that requires both skill and practice to master.
Maybe you are worried about hurting your patient. Or perhaps you are afraid of appearing incompetent in front of the patient if you are unsuccessful. All too often it seems easier to just ask someone else.
Like any skill, some will be better than others. Some will learn faster, others it will take more time. Our goal is to provide you a RAPID and EASY way to master the IV stick! Not everyone will become an expert, and that’s OK. But at a minimum, we want to impart every professional with the skill and confidence to start a routine, uncomplicated IV in their patient.
Whether you are a new-grad who needs the essentials or a seasoned professional looking to learn some advanced techniques, everyone can always learn something new.

Example Chapter
Threading the catheterAt this point both the tip of the needle and the tip of the catheter are inside the vein. You will now need to thread the rest of the catheter into the vein.

- Continue holding the needle in place
- With your non-dominant hand, grasp the hub of the catheter and slide it forward into the vein
- Slowly withdraw the needle
- Place your thumb on the hub of the catheter to hold it in place
- Use your index finger to press down above the site to prevent blood from spilling out
The Single Handed Technique

- Use the index finger of the hand that is holding the needle to slide the catheter past the needle
- Continue sliding the catheter until it is fully inside the vein.
