EXPERIENCESUSING THE ACCUVEIN AV300
A 911 call was received by our dispatch that a patient was
enroute to our station with a 33-week pregnant patient that had
been involved in a severe fall. The patient needed to beextricated
from the van and was in shock. Upon exam of this very obese black
patient (300 plus
pounds), no veins could be palpated; I employed the AccuVein
AV300 and was able to start anIV on the first attempt.
The AccuVein AV300 helps us start peripheral lines on patients
we otherwise would not havebeen able to get IV access. Now we can
deliver medications much more efficiently. Thistechnology has been
particularly beneficial on bariatric patients where visualizing and
palpatingveins can be challenging. It is one of those tools we find
we are using more and more
frequently, and improves overall patient care.
In my 29 years of service as a Paramedic, this is one of the few
times that I have used a toolthat improves patient outcomes,
reduces the risk of infection, and provides cost savings. The
AV300 AccuVein is a true lifesaver.
The cost savings using the AccuVein far exceed the cost of IO
Drill needles ($100.00 each). Ifa service were to use the AccuVein
only once a week, there would be a three-fold cost savingsover the
use of the IO Drill, and the risk avoidance of severe infection is
a significant benefit aswell.
Upon arrival at the Emergency Department, I overheard the staff
comment that the patient inMajor Treatment Room One was a very
difficult IV stick. I told the staff about the AccuVein andthe ER
doctor said: Grab your little machine and follow me. The ER doctor
and staffemployed the AccuVein on an obese African American female
in renal failure with first attempt
success.
