Which technique is most accurate in identifying an appropriate vein site for iv catheter insertion into the arm?

The best and most accurate technique to identify the appropriate vein site for iv catheter insertion into the arm is to apply a tourniquet approximately 4 to 6 inches above in the arm where the catheter is to be inserted.

Applying the tourniquet causes the vein to swell from inside due to the pressure which makes the intended insertion point much more clear and visible and helps the nurse to determine if the vein is capable of accommodating the iv catheter.

The best technique in identifying an appropriate vein site for IV catheter insertion into the arm is to apply a tourniquet to the selected arm 4 to 6 inches above the proposed site.

It is very important to use the tourniquet, because without it, veins aren’t so noticeable. Putting the tourniquet on makes the veins pop out. Also, it is very important how you put it: if it is too tight, the circulation is  cut off and there is no blood in the veins to make them puffy., if it is too loose the blood continues to flow and won’t pool for the puncture.

When the protein gramicidin is integrated into a membrane, an H+ channel forms and the membrane becomes very permeable to proton
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The electron transport chain may be defined as the sequential steps of the oxidation and reduction of the cytochromes. The electron transport chain is important for the production of ATP.

The gramicidn protein is an ionophoric antibiotic that can affect the electron transport system. The electron transport rate, oxygen uptake and proton pumping remains the same as more hydrogen ions will enter in the cell.  But the ATP synthesis rate might decrease and completely stop by using gramicidin.
