SUPER SMASH FLASH 2 SKIN
Avoid skin puncture with the needle until you hit the vein, then push the tip of the needle along the vein, with a small but constant rhythm. The needle will be inserted 4 to 6 cm below the bend in the elbow, towards the navel of the baby’s body. This position will make the needle insertion easy and the vein easier to see. You should also be facing the baby’s stomach, not the left or right upper arm. The left hand should be positioned on the outside of the circle, in the upper quarter the right hand on the inside of the circle. Moreover, as previously mentioned, it’s important to use the dominant hand for sampling.įorm a circle around the chosen vein, using the digit 1 finger if it’s the left hand and the digit 2 finger if the right hand is used. Also, it is important to notice that blood flows towards the heart from the left side of the body, or from the opposite arm, to that which has been chosen as the site for venous puncture. It is essential to have the right veins on the left side of the upper arm since the veins on the right side are small and difficult to see. So, it is helpful to remember the behavior of the veins, to make the vein vein of choice, to have the best vein of the arm and, if possible, to choose the dominant hand and to use it. This is very important as damage to the veins may cause significant damage to the surrounding tissue, blood vessel membranes, or nerves.
The next step is to find the best vein of the arm.
