What is the proper way to hold a cannulation site to ensure clot formation?
The insertion site on the skin is the main focus of most staff and patients, but the blood is actually leaking from the hole that is created when the blood vessel wall is punctured. If you put one finger over the hole in the skin, the finger next to that one should be place right next to it on the side that the needle was directed to. Two fingers will cover both holes, and this is the proper way to hold sites to ensure complete clot formation over the puncture sites. Instruct staff and patients to practice how they would hold a cut on their skin – lightly with just enough pressure to stop the bleeding from coming out around the fingers.
