NICU babies iv in head?

Question

Has anyone’s babies in NICU have to have an iv in the head?

Answer

It's one of the best place to put an IV in a baby. There are less nerve endings, bigger veins, and they tend to last longer because the baby cant kick or pull them out as easily.

Answer

Yes. My oldest

Answer

I was a NICU baby and I had an IV in my head. I’m now 20 years old! I do have a scar from it. It’s more of like a spot where the hair doesn’t grow ever grow back or even ever grow. But I just cover it with my hair and no one would ever know

Answer

I don't have a baby but I do know a lot of the times the vein in the head is the best to use for an IV on babies

Answer

Two of my kids did. My youngest are twins and one had pneumonia at birth and needed one in head

Answer

Not mine. But they put them where they find best veins... And these babies have miniature veins, so they are creative on where they put the iv sometimes.

Answer

My niece did!
