How to find a vein in the arm?

Which is the best way to cannulate a peripheral vein?

Peripheral veins are most easily cannulated in a straight segment proximal to the junction of 2 tributaries. A tortuous vein segment may be difficult to cannulate, and venous valves also may impede catheter insertion. In general, cannulate more distal veins first; more proximal sites are used as the distal sites are expended.

How is the angiocatheter inserted into the vein?

Insert the needle in the skin at a shallow angle (10 to 30 degrees) about 1 to 2 cm distal to the point at which you intend to enter the vein. Advance the angiocatheter into the vein using a slow, even motion.
