IO vs External Jugular IV in trauma patients


RomeViking09

Recommended Posts

In male patients the superficial dorsal vein of the penis is a better option, as it is always accessible, and has less contradictions or should i say contradicktions ? Of course it means you have to touch a penis so that means the patient will die due to your homophobia.

I've wondered about this, since I know drug addicts often use the genitals to inject.

How much success have you had with that vein compared to an external jugular? What about in cardiac arrest?

It just seems like you wouldn't veins popping up so well in a non-erect situation...
