Subject: 18-gauge needle types - (sm)

I lent out my equipment words book and never got it back!  Argh!  Anyone know these two needles... 


1. S/L 'hausted' needle or 'halstead' needle. 


2.  S/L 'suss-man' needle.


I will go to Ebay and find another one of these, since I'm apparently not getting mine back, but in the meantime I'd be SO thankful for any ideas!

Yes, the KVO allows easy access
Subject: Yes, the KVO allows easy access

warranted.  In my experience, the KVO rate was used during a transesophageal echocardiogram wherein if the patient needed a bolus of a med, then the line was there to give it.  Saline was given at a KVO rate, but I think it also (slow drip) allowed hydration for the patient while undergoing the procedure.  I believe these drips given at KVO rate can be started a lot of times in the ER to allow venous access.
