Hi, I'm a vascular access nurse. What in the voodoo shit is this? Gonna need a link because this is gonna need to be my next case study.

Cannot comprehend. Maybe a magnet behind the elbow but how TF does it go directly into the middle of the vessel? Maybe the video is shot in reverse.. no clue.

Edit:

Have since seen numerous videos on this technique and although cool, I will NOT be adopting this into my practice.

I’ve seen this technique on youtube but a tourniquet was used. Almost like throwing darts but into the vein.

You can see that this person was just wearing a tourniquet…notice the big discolored band around her arm at their elbow?
