Bifurcations💉🩸 🩸What are they? Bifurcation is where a vein or vessel “forks” or splits! 🍴 🩸Why should we avoid them? Increases the risk of vein damage, thrombosis (clot formation), & improper placement of devices. 🩸PRO TIP: Be sure to avoid IV insertion at the base of a bifurcation. Always assess the region before deciding on a place for venipuncture or IV insertion!
