@ Gem . you are rite when veins are collapsed any prominent vein we ask the staff to maintain for iv lines specially for very sick terminal patients but they are Not the first choice to place them and where no veins are seen we prefer to perform a venous cut down in those cases but again in serious patients at ICU i think you might have seen it on dorsum of foot( i.e on the front)_ or at the side of foot and in children at the head ,other than that in emergency a tube in introduced in the neck if forearm veins are not visible
@ lisa , you wrote what exactly i wanted to convey to others thanks for making that easier for me ,thats what i was trying to say maintaining an Iv line aint like pricking with a a needle and thats all, you cant place the cannula over the same place again n again, sometimes the blood oozes out and the vein eventually collapsed one has to be very careful to maintain Iv lines specially in emergency cases
