@myocardialmastery: IV gauge matters!! Without getting you too far in to Poiseuille’s law… you need short catheter and a wider lumen for the LEAST resistance… What are they capable of? To gravity- 24G: 22 mL/min 22G: 35 mL/min 20G: 65 mL/min 18G: 105 mL/min 16G: 215 mL/min 14G: 350 mL/min That jump from an 18G to a 16G is huge, and the 14G is in a completely different category…. A 14G PIV is actually larger than the individual lumens in many standard central lines….😳 The best IV is not automatically the biggest one, obviously. It’s the access that matches what your patient does now or may actually need. #CriticalCareNursing #IVTherapy #NursingEducation #CVICU #ICUNurse
they better knock my ass out before putting a 14g in me. the 20ga art line hurt like hell, i can't imagine that big ass 14g

If you ever need a 14g chances are you’re either already unconscious OR in so much pain you cannot feel anything else anyway

That 14 is basically a dang straw and better be a last resort if it's going in me or we're fighting lol

Also remember that most 24g can still handle 1000-1200ml/hr. Perfect for our outpatient, routine nfusions. Just like you said, match that gauge to the patient.
