what vein is intravenous injections most often given to called?

Answer 1

the most accessible vein (the one they usually poke when they draw blood) is called the antecubital vein. that's on the other side of elbow joint. many clinicians will not use this vein however because an IV there will kink and stop infusing if the patient bends their arm. an IV in the back of the hand works much better.

Answer 2

Intravenous injections are most often given through "peripheral veins",vein that is not in the chest or abdomen. Arm and hand veins are typically used although leg and foot veins are occasionally used,and scalp veins are sometimes used in infants.

Answer 3

people can be given an IV in any number of veins. sometimes these injections are given in the feet to hide the scar. a common vein on the hand is the metacarpal vein.
