# 37 Site Selection - Practice
Criteria: II Peripheral-Midline and III PICC it states:
Site selection should be routinely initiated
in the region of the antecubital fossa; veins that should be considered for
cannulation are the basilic, median cubital, cephalic, and the
brachial.
When we use ultrasound we are hardly ever
placed in the antecubital fossa because of the larger catheters being required,
increase in antecubital complications because of movement and of course patient
comfort.
What are the legal implications of this in
court by not using the antecubital for
placement? Thanks
