    In this video, we will go over how to valve test a vein when planning to start an IV or draw blood with venipuncture. This method can help avoid a blown vein and failed IV attempt. Valve testing a piece of a vein can help to illuminate potential valves in the vein in a non-invasive way.

    Thanks for the repeat view of a valve test. I would like to see a comparison visual to what you would expect to see in a vein with no valves

    This is the video I've been looking for. I have a chemo patient and everytime I put an IV I blow her veins and I'm so frustrated not understanding why. Thank you so much

    To the lady who couldn't understand because English is not your first language... turn on your closed caption and pause the video at each sentence. It might take awhile for you to get through the video but hopefully you will better understand what he is saying

    I wonder if this would work on a dogs cephalic vein. Some dogs have really long legs and a long cephalic and I hate blowing a catheter when I know I’m in the vein but the end of the catheter is right up against a valve

    So I'm not sure I got it. Is the valve where you are holding pressure? Or at the top where you stopped rubbing... Or both?

      I was holding pressure proximal to a valve, and where I released pressure with the other finger and the blood flowed back and stopped is the exact location of another valve

    You can still start an IV BETWEEN the two valve points though, right? Or are you saying if there's those valves there, it's NOT a good spot AT ALL?

      In between valves is fine you ideally want a strip of vein the length of your catheter that is valve free. Or you can float

    Ive been looking all over for information about valves. I have... things... along the cephalic vein on my forearm. They appear as round sorta soft bumps. My arm veins are visible most the time naturally, but Ive noticed these bumps more and more, there are a few of them...a few inches apart. They arent there 100% of the time, but often they are. I'm male, mid 30's, no real health problems, I'm in okay shape...though relatively sedentary the last couple years. So... could these bumps be the valves? If so, what causes them to be visible.

      Have you ever found anything out about this? I've had the same thing for a couple years and just now found out about venous valves.

      Yeah. Click the playback speed and test the speed you want. Add the captions to it also. Ihope that helps.

    I can’t understand the whole thing because you speak too fast. Since English is not my first language, could you speak slower next video? Thanks
