Ya it's not slow ot place a line, my avg time was <40 sec from setup I think, this also is only for straight draws, no catheter placement which is the harder part of IV's for me.
Thank you. Takes me a couple seconds to insert a butterfly so throwing it at the patient seems unnecessary lol but some people said they've had this done and it was an amazing experience so I guess it has some purpose.
I would assume it would make relatively thin easy to hit people a few seconds faster and without pain, it's an interesting technique but rarely is a blood draw an "I can't miss this" situation, vs a butterfly 22ga in the right wrist because you absolutely gotta have something on this 600lb'er for access because your IO won't reach the bone. Also, am I the only motherfucker that has to feel every single vein even if I can see it?
