Thanks Lynn,
I will start including arm boards also. I will also check that radiology site you included.

Almost all legal cases I have reviewed involved IV sites in areas of joint flexion that were not properly stabilized and supported to prevent catheter movement and joint motion, both critical elements.
I would say these catheters absolutely must be placed by skilled people, must be placed on an arm board and must be assessed for patency by a positive blood return before, during and after the procedure.
