Picking the right IV needle size is like dating… you’ve gotta find the right fit.”
24G – For the delicate souls (think babies and the elderly).
22G – Your go-to for most patients… the “vanilla ice cream” of IVs.
20G – Perfect for fluids and meds… basically the workhorse.
18G – Big, bold, and ready for rapid infusions… but your patient will definitely side-eye you.
16G – For trauma, emergencies, or when you really want your patient to remember you forever.
Don’t worry, you’ll get it down! 💪
