Has everyones drip/anasthesia been through an IV in th back of the hand? Started by: Natalie

I hope mine wont be in the back of my hand as i have no prominent veins, they also struggle to get blood out of me from anywhere, I can tell this isn’t going to be fun for me x

Morning ladies 🙂 they put my on the back of my hand but I’m the opposit I love needles and canulas! A lil tip If you try your best to warm up your hands before going down then your veins will be easier to find 😉 good luck ladies xx

heyy girls i think everyone has the cannula in the back of there hand but i think they would put it somewhere else if thats what you want ask your nurse when you go xx

I ended up having mine in my arm – they couldn’t do it in the back of my hand – luckily as i much preferred it in my arm too haha

mine was but you can have a gas to put you out first!! and numbing cream, i had the numbing cream but was still terrified i was crying (hate needles so much) so they gave me the gas mask n i was out cold lol! didnt know anything about a needle next min im wakin up with booobs 🙂 xx

I think everyone gets it in the back of their hand, the nurses and anaesthetists are pros, you won’t even feel it goin in, mine was put in when I got on the operating table. and you’ll probrably just sleep for hours afterwards, you can have morphine through the cannula in your hand if ye need it x
