What is your approach to difficult IV access?
How do you guys manage difficult IV access intraop (say for your super morbid obese vasculopaths)? Any cool methods or tips/tricks that I am missing?
1) Peripheral IV in any extremity
-Blind saphenous if peds
-IO if emergency
2) US for obvious superficial targets in the extremities
3) US guided IV into deep vessel (basilic or brachial)
4) EJ
5) Central line
