Abstract
To find a vein for intravenous insertion is quite difficult in most of the people. This difficulty is due to several factors, such as the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients (age, sex, height, weight, ethnicity, IV drugs history, and medical history), health professional’s experience, device characteristics, site of insertion, and vein characteristics. Many insertion attempts has to be done due to difficulty in intravenous insertion. This makes the patient uncomfortable and frustrated leading to challenge for the health workers. It is also an expensive affair for the health institutions. There fore to avoid the above problems medical practitioners should use the Vein Finder to locate the vein for intravenous insertion.
