To place an intravenous cannula (IVC) the preferred veins are in the patient's arm. As a general rule, the patient's non-dominant extremity should be used. That is, if a patient is right handed, the left arm should be used for IV access. In general, any distended vein may be used as long as all clinical and medical procedures and precautions are followed during the procedure.

What does IVC is phasic mean?

IVC phasicity refers to the variability in the diameter of the inferior vena cava (IVC) during the respiratory cycle. During inhalation, the IVC typically expands due to decreased intrathoracic pressure, while during exhalation, it narrows as intrathoracic pressure increases. This phasic change can be used as a clinical indicator of fluid status and right atrial pressure in patients, particularly in critical care settings. Evaluating IVC phasicity helps assess volume responsiveness and guide fluid management.

What is the best angle for needle insertion during venipuncture and why?

Because the goal of the procedure is to place a plastic catheter into the vein. If you insert the needle/catheter vertically you will go through the vein. If you angle on insertion once placement in the vein is confirmed you can slide the hollow catheter off of the needle into the vein. The veins used for most IV's normally lie just under the skin. For this reason a shallow angle of insertion is used.
