I’m an ER nurse and always say ‘in an emergency I would rather be looking at it not looking for it’

Unless her husband is working through that hospital, they will not let him stick here either. Compliance nurse here 🙋🏻♀️

I wish patients understood how anxious it makes me when they refuse IVs. I obviously respect their wishes, but again it’s the security net.

If (everything in) nursing was easy, wouldn’t everyone do it?! Some people just don’t realize

An IV is a lot better than a drill 🤷🏻♀️

What’s scarier than an IV? Having to get one placed when your hemorrhaging, your BP is 60/nada, having no rerun on the IV

It’s also always easier to get an IV on someone with a pulse

I’ve had ER nurses and anesthesiologists have to try over 20 times and then drill IO cuz they couldn’t get an IV during anaphylaxis 😳

You say this so my nicer than I do. Without an IV you and the baby might die. Get the heplock

My husband once needed an IV while having a seizure. It took 4 nurses to get it done. I about passed out. It’s not always easy.

Thanks to your compassionate response vids- I’ve been more mindful with my language. Last few years have been very angry, cuz… 🍊

As someone whose had a crash csection, you don’t want them to have to take a time out to place an IV. Every second counts.

Edith :
The IV was the worst part of my child birth experience, I just learned to insist that the IV be done by their best sticker. I am a hard stick

I always knew it was there 😂 but I gladly accepted this as part of labor.

I’ve seen SO many people that’s gotten IV access in an emergency so I know it’s possible and it’s just what I am comfortable with

Sarah Jones :
I had a horrific time getting an IV w/my last baby, ended up blowing a vein. Wouldn’t wanted to do that in an emergency!

Tori Hamrick :
So I hated every IV port once it was not hooked to a bag . I def could still feel the needle on my hand or wrist or arm . And it left me bruised

I had iv in all 4 extremities... top of both feet and top of both hands.

I am normally an extremely easy stick...after a traumatic horseback accident it took 15 tries for them to find an IV.

I went in for an induction and it took them over 45 minutes to get an IV in and blew three different veins. Tried on both arms hands and everything.🥴

Time can be the loss of life in an emergency situation. An IV is a must. Emergency situations can go south quickly without an IV site.

Absolutely the safer option to get one from the start than rush it 🤷♀️

looks like we have your IV team here in our commenter! I've had blood literally pouring on the floor.... I love iv's!

Stephanie :
It took 4 nurses w/ a vein finder to get my kiddos iv in. We go in monthly for this so they know what veins usually work. It was not quick or easy.

Elisabeth Cordel :
Your husband may start iv in an emergency but it's very different when someone you love is in danger vs work.

Tay :
Oh no, nobody’s saying it’s easy. But if it’s emergent, there will be access. Whether that’s by an IV or if I have to be drilled 😂

Steph 🦘 :
Didn’t really want an IV but it sure was handy when I had a 1.8 litre PPH. 😌

K.Ray :
Im just assuming here, but a HCW would not ask for assistance from a spouse, no matter what the emergency is.

Bedilya :
It depends on the patient. The only way they got one into my mom was her JUGULAR!!!

OwllyG :
Just get the IV. IIO and jugulars are very painful especially after they have to do it emergently. Trust us!

SusieTheNightNurse :
And during a hemorrhage, there is simply less blood in your veins and your veins start to collapse. An IV is a really simply way to be safer.

CCRN- it’s really nice if dead people already have IV access

Phyllisha Marie Drew :
My last 2 deliveries I had 2 IVs places as safety nets- I have history of hemorrhaging... so we made sure I was leaving the hospital alive.

I had an emergency IV and they jabbed it into my arm, it was awful. I was bleeding out. I regret not getting one at the start

This is when my hub fainted. Epidural needle in back, IV blew, they had three nurses poking trying to find a vein so they could finish epidural.

Heather (Taylor's Version) :
I did not have an IV placed with myasthenia birth. things got really emergent and they had a hard time placing due to dehydration.

I will never ever refuse fluids if someone wants to give them to me I’m just saying

Brooke Bailey :
Sure. Say this and then you end up with an IO.

I always knew that IV was staying in the entire term of my stay. They've had to send all sorts of medication through me. 😅

🙄I swear some people. It is better to be ahead of the game than behind the 8 ball in an emergency. The hardest time is during an emergency.

Hot take- an emergency is NOT the time to be trying to get access.

I told the nurse at the start I am a hard stick. It took 3 people 12 tries and I'm was bruised to hell..🥺🥺

Girl you say that better than I would have. Please just let me do my job. If someone isn’t in healthcare they never know.
