Event Description
|
Rn reported ultrasound doesn't seem to be accurate when they use it to place ivs and wanted to know if it needed to be calibrated.Rn stated that they either go too far or not far enough with referencing the ultrasound.Rn advised they are seeing the dimpling and vein bouncing back in the ultrasound image, but are not seeing flashback.Patients end up needing multiple needle sticks during procedures, resulting in procedural delay, due to difficulty in visualizing the vein.
