Step 7: Cephalic catheter placement

< Step 6 | Step 8 >     

  Once the catheter is fully advanced into the vein, remove the stylet and place a T-set adaptor or injection cap on the end of the catheter. Many kinds of adaptors can be used with catheters, but most veterinarians and technicians prefer a T-set adaptor since it offers an injection port and a port where intravenous fluids can be attached.
