Effects of venodilation techniques for peripheral intravenous cannulation (the effect of posture) - Effects of venodilation techniques for peripheral intravenous cannulation (the effect of posture)

Results of paired t tests demonstrated that the venous cross-sectional area significantly increased in the supine position with tourniquet application compared with the seated position with tourniquet application. Subgroup analysis with two-way repeated measures analysis of variance revealed that the venous cross-sectional area was significantly larger in the supine position than in the seated position despite DPIVC.
