Can a blood clot in a varicose vein be dangerous?
Inflammation in superficial or surface veins, such as those used to insert IV lines in the arm or to draw blood, can produce pain, redness, warmth, and discomfort.

Explain why you should not take a blood pressure in a patient who has lessened circulation in his or her arm?
Taking blood pressure is not recommended on a limb with an IV because it can cause the vein to blow, resulting in a new IV line needing to be inserted. You can take a blood pressure on an IV limb when there is no other choice but try to do it far away from the IV site. If the IV is at the wrist/hand use the upper arm, if it's at the elbow use the lower arm close to the wrist.Good Luck I hope this helps.

What cause a blood clot?
There are many kinds of blood clots. There are those which occur when you cut your skin (these are commonly called "scabs"). There are those which occur inside veins. The ones which occur inside veins but cause problems are of two kinds--those which occur in superficial veins, and those which occur in deep veins. Blood clots in superficial veins (veins near the skin) are most commonly caused by having varicose veins. Another common cause is having an intravenous puncture (IV), such as when you have blood drawn or during a stay in a hospital. When superficial blood clots become inflamed, the condition is called superficial thrombophlebitis. This is treated with warm compresses and antibiotics. Blood clots in deep veins are called deep venous thromboses (DVT's). DVT's are more likely to occur if you have one or more of the following 3 risk factors: 1. Trauma 2. Venous stasis 3. Predisposition to the formation of blood clots Trauma means injury to that part of the body. Venous stasis means the blood isn't flowing very much. This happens when you sit or lie still for prolonged periods of time (such as on a long plane flight) or if you are obese. Predisposition to forming blood clots can be a genetically inherited trait. It also occurs in various medical conditions, such as pregnancy and cancer. DVT's are extremely dangerous, since a piece of the blood clot can break off and go to your lungs (pulmonary embolism--often fatal) or your brain (stroke--often crippling).
What is a cutdown IV?
Cut down IV is a procedure where a small incision is given to find and cannulate a vein to give intravenous fluids or blood. Usually done in burn patients or in severe shocked patients when they are having low blood pressure with no available or visible veins to put the intravenous drip.
