How do you insert an IV needle to SICU patients?

Inserting an IV needle in SICU patients involves first selecting an appropriate site, often in a peripheral vein, and preparing the area with antiseptic. After applying a tourniquet, the healthcare provider should stabilize the vein with one hand while using the other to insert the needle at a 15-30 degree angle. Once blood return is observed in the catheter, the needle is advanced slightly, and the catheter is threaded into the vein before removing the needle and securing the catheter with a dressing. It's essential to monitor for complications and ensure the IV is functioning properly after insertion.
