iv cannula size

If someone is being treated in a hospital or clinic and needs medical help, doctors and nurses may need to put an IV (otoscope) cannula. This is a thin tube that is gently inserted into vein of the person. A catheter is a very useful medical tool that enables the administration of medicine or fluids directly into someone's bloodstream. The size of the IV cannula is something I cannot stress enough that it needs to be accurate for many reasons. Not only is it easier for the patient but also ensures that the medicine performs well and gets to work in a short time within their body.

How IV Cannula Size Affects Patient Comfort and Treatment Efficacy

Comforts:Size of IV cannula is the most important comfort for patient. If the cannula is too small, it will either take longer to put in or be more painful during insertion. This can cause the patient to be fearful or uncomfortable. However, a large cannula may cause discomfort or bruises and it can also damage the skin around where they are implanted. If a small cannula is used, the medicine or fluids may not flow fast enough due to this slow rate and thus create delayed treatment for the patient. That is why it is important to select a size that fits well for both comfort and treatment effectiveness.
