Uses of the Green IV Cannula
The 18 gauge is among the options considered for rapid hydration, rapid blood transfusion and administering many IV medications. These uses are general and do not mean the product is suitable for every patient or every treatment situation.
The green 18G IV cannula may be assessed for the following:
- Administering IV fluids at higher flow rates
- Transfusion of blood or blood products according to the facility’s protocol
- Administering medications compatible with peripheral IV access
For this gauge, the diameter and quality of the vein matter. Choosing a catheter that does not fit the vessel can restrict blood flow around the device and increase the risk of mechanical complications or phlebitis.
Important Points When Choosing and Buying
When considering an 18-gauge IV cannula, the required flow rate, type of fluid or drug, duration of treatment and vein condition must all be taken into account. The actual flow rate is also not determined by gauge alone and may vary with each model’s length and design.
