At what angle do I insert an IV?
Insert the catheter into the vein at a 15 to 30 angle. A large initial insertion angle can cause problems.
Where should you hold the catheter?
Hold the catheter where it goes into your body so you don’t tug it too hard while you clean. With your other hand, use a soapy washcloth to wipe the catheter tube. Start from where it goes into your body and wipe down toward the drainage bag. This helps keep you from wiping germs from the tube into your body.
What is the best angle to insert your needle?
Insert the needle into your vein with the needle bevel (opening) facing up, at a 15 to 35 degree angle, and always in the direction of the heart. The more perpendicular the needle is to the injection site, the greater chance you have of sticking the needle through the vein instead of into it.
Does the needle stay in an IV?
An IV is inserted using a small needle. Once the IV tube is in place, the needle is removed. Since IV placement involves a needle, the patient will experience some pain.

Do you have to wear sterile gloves when inserting a catheter?
