    Ugh. IV's Im 0/2 on them so far... Any tips?
    It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.

    Pull the skin tight. Veins only roll cause you're not holding traction properly.

    Here is the big one. When you see a flash, don't get excited. The needle is in but the catheter probably isn't. Advance a little more. Remember: the needle is longer than the catheter.

    If youre missing them, see part one.

    If you're blowing them, skip to part 2.


    And for a bonus, start distal (hand) and work up. Save the AC for last ditch, trauma, and adenosine.
