Example Chapter Text



Threading the catheter



At 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. The catheter is fully inside the vein when only the hub sticks out. There are several different methods to advancing the catheter:




The Two Handed Technique

  1. You have already visualized flash, lowered your angle, advanced 1-2mm and released the tourniquet.

  2. Continue holding the needle in place

  3. With your non-dominant hand, grasp the hub of the catheter and slide it forward into the vein

  4. Slowly withdraw the needle

  5. Place your thumb on the hub of the catheter to hold it in place

  6. Use your index finger to press down above the site to prevent blood from spilling out



The Single Handed Technique



  1. You have already visualized flash, lowered your angle, advanced 1-2mm and released the tourniquet.

  2. Continue holding the needle in place.

  3. Use the index finger of the hand that is holding the needle to slide the catheter past the needle

  4. Continue sliding the catheter until it is fully inside the vein.



With the above two techniques, be careful that you are only advancing the catheter into the vein and not the needle.
If the catheter is inside the vein it should be relatively easy and painless to advance it. Unlike the needle, the catheter is soft and flexible so it will be difficult to slide it in unless you are inside the vein.
