In general, elderly patients tend to require narrower gauge catheters, and the median vein of the forearm is well-suited to these kinds of catheters, so it’s a good choice with older patients. 2. Accessory Cephalic Vein

There are other IV gauge sizes besides those, although they aren’t as common. There is a size 24 gauge that is mostly used for pediatrics due to its small size. There are also 16 gauge needles that are used primarily for ICU or surgery. The hammer-forged barrels on our Silver Pigeon IV had enough weight to be steady, but not so much as to impede swing (they are stamped up at 1480 grams). They are made of tough alloy steel as noted and chromed internally. Proofed, as is the fashion, for 3" (76mm) shells (though 2 ½ and 2¾ shells may all be safely fired). Chokes are of Beretta’s shorter, concealed, Mobil type, which I have always found to work perfectly well (though the modern trend is towards longer, extended, chokes). Davenport MS, Wang CL, Bashir MR et al (2012) Rate of contrast material extravasations and allergic-like reactions: effect of extrinsic warming of low-osmolality iodinated CT contrast material to 37 degrees C. Radiology 262:475–484or 26 gauge IV catheters are the most common sizes for neonates. What is the Most Common IV Catheter Size For Infants?

Our initial choice of a sample size of 1500 was based on the size of a previously published study about suboptimal CTPAs 9 and gestalt that this would be sufficiently large. Since no prior study has evaluated the relationship between IV size or location and suboptimal CTPAs, we initially did not have sufficient information to perform a formal power calculation. However, with the knowledge of the results of this study, we can provide a post-hoc power analysis as follows: for the primary outcome, assuming that patients would have an IV catheter meeting the ACR recommendations six times as often as not, we found that at least 132 patients would be required in the group not meeting the ACR recommendations to find a 10% difference in the rate of inadequate contrast filling of the pulmonary vasculature with a power of 0.8 and an alpha of 0.05. In the pictures you will see Seymore Coetsee, the PH (Professional Hunter) at Swala. Seymore is a great rifle and pistol shot, and although he is not as experienced with wingshooting we soon had him breaking clays with the Silver Pigeon IV. One inmate had a particularly violent nature, and he managed to grab the IV after the nurse inserted it into his body. He stabbed her repeatedly. As it turns out, he had AIDS. Unfortunately, the nurse acquired HIV/AIDS and passed away a few years later.Gauge: This large sized catheter is best for pushing fluids rapidly or administering blood. You can use this size to complete CT PE Protocols and other testing that require a larger IV tube. Use the smallest gauge and shortest length (*verify gauge, length, color, and uses with your facility) Our study had several limitations. First, this was a retrospective study, which raises the possibility of confounders and unrecognized bias. Second, this was a single-center study with a single radiology group, which limits the external validity of the study. Additionally, while the study was adequately powered for the primary outcome, our sample sizes for some of the secondary outcomes were small. Thus, the data trends we observed may have become statistically significant with larger sample sizes.

Hematoma: Occurs when blood leaks from the vein into the surrounding tissue, usually after more than one vein wall is accidentally punctured. Often accompanied by pain, bruising, and irritation. Will usually resolve within several weeks light pressure.It is not often that we present a gun test from Africa, but as I happened to be there recently, and two brand new Beretta Silver Pigeon IVs were available, I could not resist the temptation to do something a bit different. The guns, just imported from the UK, belong to Bryn Thomas who owns the magnificent Swala Lodge in the Limpopo region of South Africa (some hours north of
