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.

A quick Google search led me to multiple videos on the flying needle technique. Here’s one of them.

Watched the video. The answer is practice and training and also healthy veins.

I watched the video and got the sense the whole thing was a sham. A combination of practical effects and video editing.

Doesn't much help the image of "flying needle" that you can find hundreds of videos of nurses in china not doing this nonsense.
