How do you choose the best vein for iv cannulation? Try this step by step method!

A great problem is having TOO MANY OPTIONS! So with many veins to choose from, which one do you choose??? In this video I outline my approach, especially as it relates to the operating theatre environment 1) Try the most distal site that satisfies the purpose 2) Choose between hand, forearm, cubital fossa and arm - each has advantages and disadvantages 3) Consider Left or right (patent preference, logistics of theatre, surgical requirements)
