What are the tips for inserting an acupuncture needle for infusion?

People grow up eating grains and cereals, so it is inevitable that they will have some diseases. Nowadays, people's technology in the medical field is very advanced, and there are many ways to treat people's diseases, such as taking medicine, injections, infusions, surgery, etc. Infusion is popular because it works quickly and does not require as much pain as an injection or as long a treatment time as taking medicine. When using infusion as a treatment method, acupuncture is very important. Here are some tips on how to give an acupuncture injection during infusion.

1. No exposure of veins

1. The veins of patients with edema are often not obvious. According to the anatomical position of the vein, local pressure should be applied with fingers to temporarily disperse the subcutaneous water. It is better to puncture after the vein is exposed.

2. The veins of obese patients are deeper and less obvious, but they are relatively fixed and do not slide. After feeling them accurately, insert the needle at a 30° angle. After blood returns, lift the needle slightly and insert it into the blood vessel to successfully complete the procedure.

2. Fragile veins

The blood vessels of patients with chronic wasting diseases are relatively fragile, so the needle should be inserted from the side of the blood vessel. When inserting the needle, the direction of the needle should be parallel to the blood vessel. Do not use excessive force when the needle enters the blood vessel. The principle is to go slow rather than fast, and hold the needle steadily.

3. Empty Veins

In patients with severe bleeding or fluid loss, the blood volume is reduced, causing the veins to become empty and flat. Be particularly careful when performing such venous puncture. The lifting-up needle insertion method should be adopted, that is, carefully insert the needle into the muscle layer of the blood vessel, lay the needle flat, and lift the needle slightly to separate the front and back walls of the blood vessel, so that the needle tip and the bevel slide into the blood vessel with a sense of loss of obstruction. Even if there is no blood return, the needle has entered the blood vessel and the injection can be performed.

4. Veins with high mobility

You can choose a sharper needle, and use the thumb and index finger of your left hand to fix the two ends of the blood vessel respectively, and insert the needle at a 30-degree angle beside the blood vessel. After the blood returns, lift the needle slightly and insert a little bit along the blood vessel.

5. Superficial small veins

The veins of female patients and children are relatively small, making puncture more difficult. In this case, you can choose a needle with an appropriately small bevel and do a good job of preparation before puncture. You can use hot compresses to fill and dilate the blood vessels to facilitate puncture.
