Determining what IV Cannula Size should be used: There are various cannula sizes made available that is again measured in gauge.

Being confident: If this is the first time you are Inserting an IV cannula, make sure that you do not act with uncertainty in front of the patient.

Checking out for the back flow: Once there is a blood flow in the flash back chamber of the IV cannula, this means you have been successful in hitting the vein. Now all that you need to do here is advance the needle further in order to ensure that the iv catheter is in the vein before you actually go ahead and retract it and advance the catheter all the way in.

Stabilizing the vein: Try and hold a movable unstable vein with your finger and then try hitting the cannula into the vein.

Starting the process very slowly: This is something that has to be followed when the patient’s veins are fragile. The insertion of IV cannula should be slow in the beginning in order to adjust the desired flow rate. This will help the vein from blowing up because of the pressure given to it.

Finding the right vein: Before you begin with the process do make sure that you find the right vein for the insertion process by visualization and palpating it. 

Applying tourniquet: In order to make the vein more visible do make sure that you apply tourniquet 3 -5 inches above the insertion site so that it would impede the blood flow and dilate the vein for an easy process of palpation and visualisation. Also make sure that it is not that tight not loose.
