Ultrasound for periphs

[Lawler, Maureen C.]

We are just beginning using US for PICCs.  Ct Scan does not want to use power
injector on veins in hand or wrist...don't blame them.  If they can't gain
access in a large vein they call us and sometimes we can't either.  They have
asked if it would be possible, once we gain skill with US, to place periphs in
the upper arm with the aid of US.  Are any of you able to do this and if not
what do you do to gain access for CT power injections?
