Peripheral IV Insertion: Everything You Need to Know to Insert an IV

In this video, I am trying to cover everything I think you should know and do to successfully insert an IV. That's why this video is ungodly long. It includes everything that I make a point of discussing when I teach new employees how to place IVs for the first time.

The Catheter used is the BD Insyte Autoguard IV, the dressings shown are the Tegaderm IV Advanced, and the standard Tegaderm Transparent Film Dressing.

If watching a half an hour video on IV insertion isn't your thing, I also separated this into smaller videos focusing on specific steps and concepts.
